Grandpa's Classic Coney Sauce
Coney sauce is a condiment of ground beef simmered in tangy flavors and served on hot dogs. My grandfather owned a drive-in restaurant back in the 1950s. This is his exact recipe for Coney dogs from back in the day. I make this on special occasions, and it is always hit with friends and family.
Strawberry and Balsamic Homemade Gelato
Fresh strawberries and balsamic vinegar pair perfectly - even more so in this homemade Italian ice cream. I roast the strawberries in the oven for 30 minutes to release all their sweet juice.
Herb Bread for Bread Machine
This herb bread is almost exactly like the bread they serve at Macaroni Grill®. This bread is best warm or toasted. We serve it with soups or even just toasted for breakfast spread with cream cheese instead of butter.
