This is the recipe for basic cake roll. You can add cocoa or mocha powder to the cake. You can spread cream, chocolate, or raspberry mousse on the cake sheet before rolling and then refrigerate it before serving. It is moist and tasty. All my family and friends loved it!

Hot Bean and Bacon Dip with Air Fryer Tortilla Chips
This is a great dip for game day, potlucks, or get-togethers. We serve it with air-fried tortilla chips. Leftovers are great (but you probably won't have any) in a flour tortilla for a bean and cheese burrito, or roll it in a corn tortilla for a quick taco.
Instant Pot Wild Rice
This is an easy, hands-off recipe for Instant Pot wild rice. Just dump the ingredients in, set the timer, and let the pot do its thing. Feel free to use this recipe as a starting point and add your additional favorite seasonings. It is important to note that this recipe must be made with plain wild rice (not a wild rice blend or quick cooking wild rice), as it will not cook at the same amount of time otherwise.
Pavlova Deluxe
A pavlova is a fresh fruit dessert with a meringue crust and cream filling. The 'deluxe' in this recipe refers to the passion fruit, which can be pricey. Passion fruit is a round, purple fruit resembling a kiwi, but larger. When ripe it appears shriveled. You can also use kiwi, about 8, instead of passion fruit.
