No Bake Rum Balls
These no bake rum balls are a holiday favorite! Try using brandy in place of rum in this recipe.
My Sicilian Ex-Mother-in-Law's Peperonata
This recipe—my Sicilian ex-mother-in-law's peperonato—is Camilla's version of a Sicilian contorno (meatless side dish) made with bell peppers, onion, garlic, and fresh herbs. Peperonato is usually made in large quantities, so there will be leftovers to toss with either pasta or rice the next day. You can make it either in the oven or on the stovetop. This stovetop version is even better the next day!
The Ultimate Slow Cooked Chili
This ultimate slow-cooked chili recipe is always a little bit of experimentation. It has a lot of flavor and is one of my favorite dishes. There is always a little give and take, but here is my honed recipe with the (staple) list of ingredients. Serve the chili in a bowl on a cold night or spread over white or brown rice. Always sprinkle generously with Cheddar cheese, crumbled tortilla chips, and maybe a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!
