Fruit cake is not for me, although growing up, there was always at least one in our house from mid-December through New Years. My grandmother made them, my mom made them, a few of the neighbors made them. I’m not sure who ate them, but everyone seemed to make them. I have a few holiday cakes I like to make, and will share, but this one is a favorite in our house ’cause it’s chocolate, Guinness and cream (some of my husband’s favorite things). I converted the measurements from a version at www.florencefinds.com, where i find many delicious recipes. Enjoy!
Christmas Eve Lasagna Bolognese
This hearty lasagna will please your meat lovers, and is more delicious warmed up on Christmas Day evening, when no one wants to do any more cooking. I make my Bolognese sauce December 22nd, and the bechamel December 23rd. Here’s what you’ll need for everything.
