These bars are easy to make and stunning to look at. All the ingredients needed are in your pantry already. It’s a standard shortbread recipe, with added raspberry jam and granola for texture.

Before our trip to the Philippines, we booked this trip to Spain to have somewhere to look forward to after our vacation in the Philippines ended.

I pre-ordered Chrissy Teigen’s cookbook when she first announced the release around a year ago. I flipped threw the pages when the book arrived and loved all the recipes! Sadly, I never got around to cooking any and the book started to collect dust on the shelves. Recently, I was inspired again and picked up… Continue reading Baked ziti with sausage and eggplant
