Amazing Banana Sorbet
This recipe is great for hot summer afternoons, or when you're just craving a cold snack! It is easy to make and uses only 3 simple ingredients. For one cup of mashed bananas, you will need about 3 bananas.
Pinto Beans With Mexican-Style Seasonings
Pinto beans are simmered with onion, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and garlic in this easy one-pot recipe. I love making these beans just because they make the whole house smell so good, and the longer they simmer the better they taste. You could add 1/2 can of beer to make "borracho" beans. I personally taste-test throughout the entire cooking process and add extra seasoning as I feel it needs it. These beans could simmer all day long; just make sure they have plenty of water to keep the beans covered.
Four-Cheese Truffled Macaroni and Cheese
Truffle mac and cheese is one of my favorite things to make when there's a chill in the air. It's great for cheese lovers, like myself, and works well at dinner parties. The leftovers are good too! Truffle oil is one of the best culinary purchases I've made. One little bottle has lasted me a year and can be used with so many things. Top this dish with a pinch of truffle salt if desired.
