NEW RECIPE - Springform Lasagne

12/27/2019

Ever since I got my springform pan to make a cheesecake, I've been thinking about all of the non-cheesecake dishes I could make in it which is how I came up with lasagne. I know I've seen a post or two in the past from someone who's made a springform lasagne but it felt like it was my idea at the time lol Layers of creamy ricotta and spinach filling, blended tomato sauce, and tender noodles held together with copious amounts of melty cheese, there's nothing not to love about it. Plus, removing the outside of the pan and revealing that layered beauty is something to fan girl over! Head to the RECIPES page for the recipe!

NEW RECIPE - Roasted Veg Mac & Cheese

12/16/2019

Mac and Cheese is definitely in my top 5 favourite things to make and eat. Long gone are the days of the blue box of kraft dinner as we have arrived at scratch made mac & cheese town and there's no going back.

Creamy cheese sauce full of flavour from extra old, imported cheddar along with tender noodles and roasted veggies like asparagus and brussel sprouts come together under a layer of crispy crumbs baked until bubbly and gorgeous. The roasted veg bring something special to the otherwise deliciously cheesy dish for a mac and cheese that offers you everything you're looking for. Head to the RECIPES page!
