This is an excellent Mexican rice recipe with bell peppers (not to be confused with Spanish rice) that I make as a side to serve with all of my Mexican dishes. The key is cooking the rice properly and using good quality chicken broth or stock.

Brioche Col Tuppo (Sicilian Brioche)
I've streamlined the recipe for Brioche Col Tuppo (Sicilian brioche), which I believe is the best baked product ever named after a hairstyle. Named for the hair bun worn by Sicilian women, this buttery, perfectly perky, absolutely gorgeous bun is usually eaten for breakfast.
Shelly's Super Salad
This is an easy salad to prepare and you can vary the ingredients depending upon what is freshest at the market. The dressing is fat-free Italian, and is tossed with the cucumbers, tomatoes, mushrooms, red onion, and eggs, along with the chopped lettuce and spinach.
Korean Pizza
I got this recipe from my Korean friend. He says it's a really popular snack food in Korea and even though it looks more like a crepe, they call it pizza. It's very versatile and you can add pretty much anything you like to it, as long as it's chopped small enough.
