Allspice Cream Cheese Frosting
Cream cheese frosting with a little extra something. This is a good frosting for spice cakes that contain allspice.
Grandma Maggio's Spaghetti Sauce
This Italian tomato sauce from Grandma is one that was recited to me, from memory alone, and used descriptions like "a hand of garlic," though the quantities listed now should be accurate. I encourage buying the cheapest versions of these ingredients you can find; it will feed an army for about $15 without ruining the taste. You should add more seasonings based on preference. A great vegetarian sauce, or with meatballs, makes great meatball sandwiches.
Brazilian-Style Beef Ribs
This is my version of Brazilian beef ribs. Whenever I go to Brazil, I always go to a churrascaria restaurant to eat these ribs. The meat is so tender and flavorful, it's hard to believe it's only seasoned with salt!
