I’ve had bolognese on my mind a lot lately. So I decided it was time to make some. 🍝 This isn’t traditional. My Publix was out of ground pork, and I wasn’t sure that even mild Italian sausage would deliver the end result I wanted. After a quick brainstorm with the lady at @publix’s butcher counter, I decided to use a high-quality bacon in its place. Traditional, no. Absolutely luscious and delightful, yes. Piled atop fresh homemade pasta? Divine. 👌 What’s something delicious you’ve cooked lately? #homecooking #homemadepasta #bolognese #pastabolognese #madeathome

Bougie Banana Pudding for Easter dessert 🍌🐰

Bougie Banana Pudding for Easter dessert 🍌🐰 It had been a while since I made a fun, indulgent dessert, and I got inspired after binging some baking videos. The result was this creamy, rich, silky Southern classic, taken up a few notches. Featuring a pound cake foundation, creme diplomat middle layer (pastry cream recipe from @csaffitz), banana coins, and slightly sweetened whipped cream, topped with a light sprinkling of crushed Biscoff cookies. It was well loved and well eaten. #bananapudding #southernfood #easterlunch #eastersunday
