Chocolate Cookies and Cream Lasagna

Thursday, May 26, 2022
This luscious decadent Chocolate Cookies and Cream Lasagna has so many names out there and it's the easiest no-bake dessert ever plus so addicting you can't stop eating it..


It's a layered no-bake dessert with cream cheese, whipped cream instant pudding, and crushed oreo cookies, very much like a sweet dessert lasagna and not the kind that is savory with tomato sauce!


This easy dessert can be layered in any kind of pan or even made into a large trifle bowl.


This classic no-bake dessert was said to first be introduced at the Olive Garden on the menu of sweet treats to order.


We love the basic recipe since it could be transformed into so many flavored lasagna desserts just by using vanilla, lemon, or another pudding flavor, any kind of cookies work great and such a versatile filling so it can be a new dessert every time you make it!

Best Italian Sesame Seed Cookies

Sunday, November 17, 2019
These are the Best Italian Sesame Cookies I have ever had.

Once you try them you'll see why no other recipe will compare to these authentic style cookies.

Grandma from Rome, Italy, made these often to go with her espresso, there was always sesame seed cookies on a tray for company.

We were spoiled and never had to ask for these cookies, once they were gone another batch was made immediately.

That is long ago, and now I carry on that same tradition and make these almost as often.

Everyone loves them in the family, lemon-flavored being the favorite flavor of choice.

If you love sesame seed Italian cookies, this will be bar none, the last recipe you will ever have to look for.

I continue to make these in Grandma's memory all year long, the best cookie on the Christmas tray that's gone first.

For years I made these for my brother John (they were his favorite cookie on earth!) but as of 11/16/2019, he became an Angel, and now I will make them in his memory along with Grandma's, as she watches over him and they are now together in heaven.

Keeping their memory alive in the kitchen is very important to me.

If you love Italian cookies, try some of the ones on my one-stop cookie shop roundup, they're delicious also!
