PREVIEW TEXT GOES HERE Baked Ziti This baked ziti is a MAJOR crowd-pleaser, whether I'm hosting a family gathering or cooking for my son's college friends (I usually double the recipe in that case!). The secret to its uniqueness lies in using Italian sausage, which is a shortcut to incredible flavor, and skipping the ricotta cheese, which tends to have a grainy texture in traditional baked ziti. The recipe is doable on a weeknight yet special enough to serve to company, and it's also a fantastic make-ahead potluck dish. READ MORE Garlic Bread There is always happiness chez moi when garlic bread is on the menu, so this easy recipe is in the regular rotation. I use a store-bought Italian ciabatta (pronounced cha-bah-tah) because it has a crisp crust and soft, porous texture ideal for soaking up indecent amounts of garlic butter. READ MORE Halloween Bat Cupcakes These adorable cupcakes are sure to fly off the table at any Halloween gathering! Just like my festive owl and ghost cupcakes, they're easy to assemble, starting with either store-bought or homemade chocolate cupcakes. The cute design—complete with Oreo wings and candy googly eyes—makes them a fun decorating project for kids of any age, whether for a class party or just a fun afternoon at home.
