Meat And Poultry - Chicken Jalfrezi

This is a Pakistani recipe that is a spicy curry. My Mama made this dish, and I like it very much. You must try it. This dish is best served with basmati rice, chapattis or naan bread.

Bbq Grilling - Lamama Raisin Burgers

Chat San Angelo
A good way to spruce up the old hamburger for the family, with great flavor! For a cheese burger, I suggest either muenster, or provolone cheese to complete the taste.

Salad - Strawberry Avocado Salad

Strawberries and avocadoes sit atop mixed salad greens and are dressed with a honey vinaigrette dressing. I have served this countless times and I am always asked for the recipe, I also use this dressing on many other salads. Enjoy

Herbs And Spices - Blackened Tuna

Appetizers And Snacks - Asparagus Wrapped In Crisp Prosciutto

Extremely easy and elegant appetizer. Asparagus spears are wrapped in a sheath of prosciutto, then baked until crispy. A great dish to make ahead, and bake just before serving.

Pasta - Family Sicilian Sauce And Meatballs

My Mother's family originally came from Sicily and every family member makes his or her own version - this version came most recently via Brooklyn. Use your favorite meat and Italian red wine for this sauce and serve with your favorite pasta. This also is a great pizza sauce if you leave out about half of the meat. If there are any leftovers, they freeze very well. MANGIA!

Steamed corn pudding made on the stovetop. This is a traditional Tex-Mex side dish that is a great side to any meal. Well worth the wait.

Herbs And Spices - No Cream Pasta Primavera

Spring veggies benefit from a quick roasting in olive oil and herbs before being tossed with penne. No cream here - just the fresh flavors of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and lemon. A beautiful dish.
