Portuguese Chocolate Sausage
What a surprise! My first bite … between fudge and brownie … Not too sweet chocolate flavor with roasted nuts. Chocolate Salami is an Italian and Portuguese favorite. But I have to admit while I lean to the Portuguese side I did add Amaretto instead of Port. Your choice of liqueurs is extensive. Just make it something that goes with chocolate and coffee. Exactly … What doesn’t? Not into a liqueur? Just add a little more coffee in its place.
I came across this dessert at a family reunion. Other foods from that wonderful day I have yet to try my hand. These are coming soon.
Pastéis de Nata
Bolo Levedos
Grandmother Rose baked these in the fall and winter months. They’re great any time! Chewy and fruity.
A Good Luck Dish for the New Year! 
What a simple lasagna dish with an amazing taste! Dress it up or down. It’s up to you. This one is vegetarian and so deliciously simple. Make your own sauce or use the best jar sauce you can find. Needn’t feel guilty about jar sauce … even chefs use it! This is one of those 30 minute meals too. We loved it!
This simple recipe makes up beautifully. I’ve plated two Marsala Sauce Dinners to reveal the diversity of this recipe. Change two ingredients and it becomes Chicken Marsala. This recipe is one to put to memory.
Why fuss over Hot Chocolate! Because it makes a difference in taste. Milk chocolate or dark, milk or water, whipped cream or marshmallow … these all count. As a kid my hot chocolate had to be mild, sweet but not too sweet, and rich not watery. This hits it all. So, when I want to feel like a kid again I make this delicious drink.
Soups are my favorite! Yep, no matter the weather. But this foggy day has brought out one of best! Complete nutrition in one bowl. Delicious? You bet! Rustic crusty bread adds to the simple recipe. Use your favorite greens! Add a few shavings of Parmesan and voila!
Someone special asked for this. Sounded so good … I was into it! I mean, who doesn’t like chocolate and peanut butter in a salty crust!
