This is a fun and classic pie, featuring Ritz and saltine crackers and NO apples! It's perfect for the holidays.
You will never believe the complexity that the paper-thin layers paired with a savoury tomato sauce give to an otherwise "plain" lasagne recipe. Just like baklava, it gets a central thick layer too - pureed cottage cheese that's strained to almost a custard consistency. This does need to chill before baking, and you will need every bit of counter space you own, especially if you're making your own pasta. If that's not your thing though, use 1 lb fresh lasagne sheets from the grocery and roll them out with a rolling pin as thin as possible.

A combination of decadent challah braid recipes found on Baking and Books (http://www.bakingandbooks.com/2007/09/09/

This vegan mincemeat mixture was originally made for my Big Bad Christmas Cake this year, but it can also be used for several pies, it makes about 5 cups but you'll only need 3 cups for the cake (if you choose to make it) and the remainders keep very well.
My vegetarian take on the Kraft Catalina chicken recipe. Since I'm only ever cooking for one, it's what I've worked out for myself. Works like a charm!
Same basic recipe as the Crisco Cookies, but with a GF flour blend that just so happens to have whole grains too!
Tiny silver dragees are the shining attraction in these dark, deep malted-cocoa cookies. A dab of black food colouring is optional but really helps the colour pop!
