Cannolis!

I came home this weekend to a kilogram of ricotta cheese sitting on the counter and a package of shells. I knew as soon as I saw them it was assumed i was making My dad's favorite - cannolis! They turned out very well and i would love to tackle a homemade shell recipe at some point.

Recipe for my riccotta creme filling:

-1 kg ricotta cheese

-3 cups of icing sugar

-grated lemon zest

-grated chocolate

-pinch of cinnamon

-dash of vanilla

Mix all ingredients, pipe inside shells and enjoy! 

(i also like to grate chocolate on top for an extra touch )

Lemon Meringue Pie

Recently my friend, Anishta and I decided to tackle this seemingly difficult dessert but it was surprisingly easy and very delicious (and oh so pretty!) 

We followed Anna Olson's (my mom / sisters favourite baker) Recipe off of the food network found here. I wanted to try this recipe because the crust contains no lard/shortening which was much healthier than most pie crust recipes! 

Welcome!
