Cannoli
I love cannoli and this recipe was invented after I spent a lot of time looking for the best homemade cannoli shells and filling. Since no two recipes were alike, and since instructions were a bit sketchy, I worked with a friend, Ana, to come up with a good recipe, including some tips that we came up with along the way. Special equipment is needed such as cannoli tubes, a pasta machine, and a pastry bag to help make these cannoli come out just like the ones at Italian restaurants and bakeries. Start with 1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar, and then add more to taste.
Hearty Ground Beef Chili
After searching through several recipes, I decided to put this recipe together by using my favorite ingredients. The resulting ground beef chili is flavorful and hearty. It's excellent when served with homemade cornbread.
Picnic Baked Bean Casserole
Smoked bacon adds zest to this picnic baked beans recipe I got from my mother. I must confess that lima beans have never been among my favorite foods, but I actually like them in this casserole, and their color brightens up the mixture.
