This Italian tuna spread recipe makes a great addition to an antipasti spread. Serve it with crostini, Melba toast, or crackers at room temperature. Store it, covered, in the refrigerator. To reuse, bring it back to room temperature; do not microwave to reheat; it will turn to goop. This also makes the best tuna fish sandwich you will ever have. Use iceberg lettuce, toasted bread, and a thin slice of tomato. Yum!

Breaded Hamburgers
This recipe is from my great grandmother and is super easy. It is made using bread crumbs, eggs, and hamburger patties. Best served with fried potatoes.
Chef John's Chocolate Lava Cake
This chocolate lava cake recipe is perfect for chocolate cake lovers! Legend has it that the first chocolate lava cake happened because someone took the cakes out of the oven too soon, and the centers were still gooey. There was no time to bake them more, so the chef simply had to call them chocolate "lava" cakes — brilliant!
Chef John's Lemon Bars
These shortbread crust lemon bars are one of my favorite cookies of all time — although technically, they're closer to a pie than a cookie. Nothing prepares you for that intense, awesome sweet and tart lemon-flavored custard, perfectly contrasted against crisp, sweet, buttery shortbread cookie.
