Cake!!!!!!!!

Hi! My birthday was six days ago and for celebration I made Dolce di Natale or chocolate hazelnut cake. It was wonderful! I served it with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. It was the best cake I have eaten in my entire life!!! It was very expensive to make, though, because it used a dozen of eggs. Here is a picture:


Buona Appetite!

Flavorful Focacia

Hi! Sorry I didn't post for a while. I was never able to find time to fit blogging in. Well, two of my favorite recipes I've made so far are focacia breads. The first focacia I made was called "Focacia with Parmesan Cheese and Oregano". It was absolutely delicious. My family and I ate it with olive oil, and I even added more cheese to it! The second focacia I made was called "Pizza Dough Focacia". All I did for this variation was make a plain focacia and spread it very thinly on a pan to bake with sausage and cheese. It was heavenly! Unfortunately, we ate all of the pizza before I was able to take a picture, but here is a picture of the focacia with oregano and cheese:

The salad was good, but I forgot one of the ingredients in the dressing and it turned out bad. oh well. mistakes happen. Plus, I never expected to have every recipe turn out good. Here is a picture of the salad and dressing:
