Bolognese sauce is truly the gift that keeps on giving. From one batch, you can use this Italian gravy in a multitude of ways and a multitude of times (that is, if you’re not feeding a large group): ladled over pasta, used to make lasagna, served over polenta, or even as a fun variation on a bowl of chili!

Nothing says "Texas" to me like my favorite Southern dessert: my mother's Coca-Cola cake. Rich, dense, moist and chocolatey; this decadent dessert has the power to turn enemies in to friends, friends in to lovers, and pessimists in to optimists.

Creamy and velvety, yet interspersed with carrot nibs, this lentil soup is diet-friendly, incredibly flavorful, and quite filling.
