TBB - Lemon Posset Shortcakes

February 22, 2015 by Monica in Baking, Baking Club, Cookbooks, The Baking Bible, Sweets

Tom and I are celebrating out second wedding anniversary this coming Tuesday.  I’m sitting writing those words, and I still cannot believe it’s been already two years since our wedding.

Tradition says that you should give something made out of cotton for your second anniversary, but seriously – whose husband would be excited about new pajamas or a bath robe or bed sheets? I know mine wouldn’t.

Instead of cotton, I knew that I needed to continue my trend and feed him – just like I been doing for the past seven years we been together.

Other than pie, Tom loves anything that has lemon in it.  His favorite candies are lemon drops and when I got this book and was reading through it, this recipe just had his name all over it – I needed to make it happen.

So this week it was a cookie recipe.

TBB - Golden Orange Panettone

January 18, 2015 by Monica in Baking, Baking Club, Bread, Sweets, The Baking Bible

You all know my Italian roots, so it may come as a surprise that as an Italian family, none of us bakers in the family ever made Panettone at home. We all knew that baking this at home was time consuming and even my paternal nonna, who was a very serious baker, would leave it to the pros. Every holiday, she would simply place an order with our local Italian bakery and “voila” fresh, delicious Panettone would magically appear at our home in time for us to polish it off before it even left the pretty wrapping it came in.
