Chocolate Rum Snowballs

These chocolate rum snowballs put a seasonal twist on the classic rum ball, which is one of the easiest, most delicious no-bake cookies ever. For the full snowball effect, these are coated in white chocolate, then rolled in coconut, but you can also finish them more simply by rolling them generously in powdered sugar.

Vietnamese Sandwich

While teaching English in Asia for the past several years, I've been lucky to exchange some delicious and genuine recipes with local people. This Vietnamese banh mi sandwich is awesome and a nice break from the usual sandwiches. The garlic chili sauce is typical in Asian sections of markets, but you can substitute it with Indonesian sambal or Korean chili paste. Beer or red wine is the beverage to serve with this bona fide French-influenced Vietnamese recipe.

Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

The fun of this recipe is that it can be tailored to your tastes. I'm a 'throw it in and see how it turns out' kind of cook, so please adjust the recipe to fit your own tastes. This recipe is best used immediately, as fresh fruit doesn't keep well in the refrigerator. If you prefer baked cinnamon chips, arrange the tortilla triangles in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, and bake 5 to 10 minutes in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Watch them closely so they don't burn!
