Another of Grandma's recipes.

Boneless beef short ribs, slow braised in a small crockpot (or pot if desired) perfectly sized for two servings.

This slaw is a great side dish with burgers, pulled pork, BBQ, or any succulent meaty dishes. Loved the dilled pickles in the slaw and the pickled juice in the dressing, which really accomplish the flavor. It's refreshing, and also very low in calories and fat.

These roasted almonds are tasty and crunchy, all the seasonings and brown sugar add the amazing flavor to the almonds. Good snack or when you have guests to come, it will satisfy everyone.

This recipe comes from Italy by way of Argentina. Maxwell Mowry of Charleston got this recipe when he lived in Buenos Aires in the early l970s. Since there are more people of Italian ancestry in Argentina than of Spanish ancestry, it is not surprising to find panettone there, where it is called in Spanish pan dulce, meaning 'sweet bread.' At Christmas in Argentina, pan dulce is eaten accompanied by sparkling apple cider. Houseware shops in Argentina sell special tall cylindrical springform pans to bake the pan dulce, but an empty, greased 1-pound coffee can may be used.

Learn how to make Tortilla Espanola, a Spanish Omelet. In Spain, a tortilla isn't the cornmeal flatbread we think of but a sort of omelet loaded with onions and potatoes. This is a popular item at tapas bars and an easy dinner to make after an evening of celebrating.

A traditional Portuguese recipe. Salt cod (bacalhau) and potatoes fried to perfection. FANTASTIC!

Spanish style eggs flavored with Chorizo and harissa, tomatoes, roasted red peppers and green olives. Bursts of flavor in every bite.

A delicious and succulent dish that will have you and your friends licking your lips and fingers!

A great party food favorite. Tastes just like normal sausage rolls - makes you wonder just how much actual meat they have in them :P. Even my 17 year old carnivor of a brother loves these.

we didn't use up the whole filling from Greek croustade, then we used the leftover filling and made some phyllo muffins, they came out so cute, delicate and delicious. Being creative!

Spanish spiced chicken breast with fresh avocado, orange dressed boston lettuce.

Absolutely worth the effort of preparation. The chicken tasted so delicious and packed with flavor. No need to order take-out from now on. This homemade tandoori chicken is as yummy as the restaurant one.

An Indian inspired recipe is full of flavor, a great side dish with some grilled meat.

Normally, this cake is made in a bundt or tube pan. Today, I chose to make only half the recipe and bake in four ramekins for approximately 17 minutes. While the glaze was still wet, I sprinkled the little cakes with some multicolored nonpareils to make them a little more festive. Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
