Copycat Moon Pies
Inspired by the original MoonPie® cookies, this copycat version boasts tender, but slightly crisp graham cracker cookies flavored with the faintest bit of cinnamon, sandwiched around a sweet, chewy marshmallow filling, and dipped in a sweet chocolate glaze. Serve with ice cream or a glass of milk for dipping. Cookies can be stored covered at room temperature or in an airtight container in a refrigerator for up to a week, or frozen in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
Empanadas Fritas de Queso
These empanadas use queso chanco, but a good substitute is a mixture of Swiss and Havarti. I usually bake mine, but they are really good fried. I serve these with a chile-Chile sauce.
Alabama-Style White Barbecue Sauce
This Alabama white sauce is incredibly easy to make. It was invented in 1925 by Robert 'Big Bob' Gibson at Big Bob Gibson's Bar-B-Q restaurant, in Decatur. Don't let this mixture's appearance stop you from trying what is a devastatingly delicious marinade, basting sauce, and serving sauce.
