Jello Gem Cream Roll – Donna’s Recipe
My sister-in-law shared this Jello Gem Cream Roll recipe, but I slightly changed the filling instructions. She used one flavor of jello which was not fully set yet, to sweeten and add color to her whipped cream filling. I chose to use 3 different jello flavors, let each fully set, then cut them into small “gems” and gently fold them into the whipped cream to create the mosaic effect.
Strawberry Napoleon Dessert – Recipe
I love the creaminess of the custard filling in a Napoleon dessert, the flakiness of the pastry layers, and the sweetness of the glazed top, accented with dark chocolate.
It was an easy project, thanks to Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry dough, instant pudding mix, my home grown strawberries, and fresh whipped cream.
Honey Cake Maria – Family Recipe
I am very lucky to be surrounded by many excellent bakers in my and my husband’s side of the family, who also love to share their recipes.
I have been baking honey cakes for a very long time now, and love them all, but this one is even lighter in texture and consists of other special ingredients, hence the recipe for Honey Cake Maria.
The Great Lent Is Here Again – Over 30 Vegetarian Recipes
The Great Lent begins on Monday, as it always does for the Byzantine Rite Catholics.
The Great Lent for Roman Catholics does not start until Ash Wednesday, so they have two extra days to enjoy meat meals. They also celebrate a very traditional Fat Thursday, when they enjoy their delicious “Paczki”, doughnuts.
I personally like to prepare meatless meals on Wednesdays and Fridays for the duration of the Great Lent, as well as during the full Holy Week, which is the week just before Easter Sunday.
