Dave, lasagna is a favorite! This recipe appeals to the tastebuds (and, I would typically love ricotta but mozzarella looks just as tasty!) I’ll have to learn the Dutch oven cooking method. Lastly, the French bread is to die for…definitely high on the yummy list. Kisses to Luna!

Thank you for checking it out; yeah, the bread goes pretty quick ;)

Another yummy recipe Dave! I’m currently in the VA area and got hooked on Maryland crab cakes, have you ever made them? PS I don’t like Ricotta either, liked your solution for that.

OMG Ruby; crab cakes are the best!! Safe travels and am happy to hear from you! I’m glad you’re part of the anti-ricotta club ;)
