Melanie Vargas: “I made Easter dinner with a perfectly cooked prime rib!” Marcie Fischer-De Mesa: ”Homemade No-Bake Keto Cheesecake with almond flour/pecan crust; the fellow quarantinos kept inhaling them.” Carrie Kossoudji: “Banana Bread. I hadn’t made it in years. I made it as a request for a donation.” Alison Malone: “My epic fail was an Enchilada Pizza. I don’t know why I thought it was a good idea to put enchilada sauce on a pizza crust with chicken and cheese; it was horrible. Like the worst Mexican/Italian fusion ever. Even my kids wouldn't eat it!” Jaime Connor Pierce: “I made my first Pavlova!” Sheila Wyborny: “For the first time, I made my late mother-inlaw’s pineapple banana nut bread. My Cornbread Casserole has become a frequent go-to. One casserole dish lasts hubs and me four meals.” Marcus Wells Best: “Braised short ribs” Heather Baker LeDoux: “Homemade Alfredo Sauce. It was so easy and quick. Won't buy jar stuff again!” Kimberley Danforth: “Forgot to buy mayonnaise and made my own… so much better than store bought.” 16 May | June 2020
