Posted by januaryjane @januaryjane, May 26, 2020

Hey, just thought id start hopefully an interesting topic. For all you chefs and bakers, what can you make at home that you think beats a restaurant??

Personally, I love to bake and cook. I love to try new things and have my old favorites. What are your #1 dishes?

Hah, sounds about right. Ive found a good crust for pizza to be the naan bread. I also have a great recipe for lemon bars! I never liked lemon much. Adding coconut..mmm.

@januaryjane even people who don’t like coconut love those bars!

I’ll have to keep the naan bread in mind for an easy substitute for homemade crust. Thanks for the idea.

I have some great cheesecake recipes, like chocolate chip and coffee toffee crunch. A great carrot cake that i think has orange marmalade in the frosting. My grandma subscribed to Taste of Home and Bon Appetit for years so I tried and cut out numerous recipes from those magazines.

There's a recipe I found and made which is better than a restaurant Creamy Butter Tuscan Shrimp. Light creamy sauce with Sun dried tomatoes and spinach served over bow tie pasta and fresh shaved parmesan cheese. Yum!

Another is classic banana bread with yogurt and I add chopped pecans.
