Fregolata Tart with Jam and Almonds

Fregolata Tart with Jam and Almonds

Jam Tart = an easy pat in the pan crust and jam filling = whatever jam you want! And you'll like like a pastry chef.

Fregolata – sounds fancy, doesn’t it? I love the way the word rolls off the tongue. I find myself saying it in an accent as I make it. This looks fancy, too, because it is made in a 10-inch tart pan. And it’s divine…there’s no need to give away any secrets, here, but this tart has an easy, pat in the pan crust and is made with jam. Yet, just any flavor of jam you have on hand (or you might want to use several, if you have a bunch of jam half finished!)

Uncle Bens Wild Rice Turkey Casserole

I think this Classic recipe for Uncle Bens Wild Rice Turkey Casserole is the best ever. I still remember the first time I ever had it, at my friends’ house, Dave & Rosanne’s. I was wowed by it and asked for the recipe right away. That of course, was years ago (maybe decades, now) and I still think it’s a great way to use your turkey (or chicken) leftovers.
