A Rhode Island exclusive. Kind of like a Sloppy Joe but far superior. Spicy enough to earn it's name, it's best washed down with a good beer. For you non Rhodey people, torpedo rolls are just the long sandwich rolls.

Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker, and stir in tomato paste, water and red pepper flakes. Cover, and cook at the Low setting for at least 4 hours. I usually let it go for 12. The longer it simmers, the spicier it gets! Spoon into torpedo rolls and serve.

Tzimmes
Tzimmes is a root vegetable side dish that's served on Jewish holidays and get-togethers. This recipe is made with carrots, golden raisins, orange juice, and honey. The carrots are sliced into coins as a symbol of prosperity and good luck on Rosh Hashana.
Ham Balls
This is my newest, favorite meatball recipe. If you like a sweet twist, you'll like this one. The meatballs will be slightly pink inside when done because of the pork, so do not overbake them!
Corn Salad
This corn salad is easy to make anytime with a bag of corn, lots of bell peppers, veggies, and mayonnaise. You will be proud to take this creamy corn salad with you for any holiday occasion!
