My girlfriend's mom, Mama, makes this incredible guiso (stew) once a year and often includes it in a more intricate recipe, which doesn't allow us to appreciate the value of the guiso as is. It is good by itself, with rice or pasta, or with chips. I love it because it's awesome, incredible, and delicious.

Cowboy Cookies
These cowboy cookies with chocolate chips and oatmeal are yummy. If you can manage to get them to cook just the right way, they won't be crunchy — they'll be soft and the tiniest bit chewy, and they'll melt in your mouth!
Ground Turkey Casserole
Its quick, fun and great! I learned this in grammar school. You may want to serve with corn bread or French bread and a salad.

This Irish whiskey cake is chock-full of raisins, lemon peel, and spices. Light brown sugar and whiskey give this cake a mild butterscotch type of flavor.
