Well I now its taken us a while to finally decide what cookbook to cook through, we picked the wraps one! We are planning on posting at least 1 recipe a week. This first recipe made was very good, it was a
extremely refreshing and a nice change to your regular ham and cheese:)
All the lettering in red is what we changed on the recipe!

Now after that delicious meal, Esther and I checked out the pastry window. Oh what a sight it was! So many good looking things, we we're contemplating on whether we should get the lemon panna cotta, or the banana cream tart. As you see from the picture we chose the latter, because it went so much better with coffee! Normally I don't care for banana desserts but now I know I love this banana dessert! It was so good! It was a shortbread crust, with some melted chocolate smeared onto the bottom, then layered with slices of bananas, topped with banana pudding, and then little meringue stars.......it was just the right amount of sweetness, and paired great with some real Italian coffee. And was just the right amount to serve 3 of us perfectly!
