Italian-Style Chili
This Italian-style chili recipe is an easy-to-make departure from your typical chili. The recipe calls for pepperoni, mushrooms, and a jar of prepared spaghetti sauce. I am asked for the recipe every time I make it.
Buttermilk Cinnamon Rolls
Easy, yeasted cinnamon rolls. A crowd always gathers when they come out of the oven. Favorite activity: scraping the goo off the bottom of the pan.
Crispy Vegetable Pakoras
These vegetable pakoras are delicious. You'll love this recipe if you've ever had Japanese tempura-coated veggies. These pakoras are similar, but the spiced batter gives them a unique taste. Serve with chili sauce, mint yogurt sauce, or sweet and sour sauce. Try this recipe with other vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, broccoli, and asparagus.
