I grew up eating this boiled ham dinner on Sundays when I visited my Irish granny. One thing that makes this recipe special is that it calls for a smoked ham or smoked pork shoulder instead of corned beef. A yummy smell will fill your kitchen as this cooks!

Sweetbreads
Sweetbread meat is from the gland of cattle, and this is how my husband and I prepare them. We like to cook them in tiny pieces. The taste reminds me of chicken hearts โ only better. One pound of sweetbreads makes plenty for 2 using this recipe.

Mayan Hot Chocolate
Don't knock it till you've tried it. This rich, delicious, and kicky hot chocolate might make you abandon your traditional ties. No marshmallows needed; this is for grown-ups. Everything in this recipe can be altered to suit your taste, however I recommend following the recipe to the letter the first time you try.
