"If you want a delicious spicy appetizer or for a tail gate picnic, try these. I also included a recipe for homemade Sweet-Hot Garlic Chili Sauce for dipping."

"While growing up in Boston, every Christmas my Neopolitan auntie would make a delicious chocolate round cookie spiced with cloves. She called them "Todors" (phonetic spelling). It's been 50 years since I've had them as no bakery seems to make them. Finally, after much research, I was able to locate a recipe that sounded just like the real thing...."

"By adding the zest of a lime, it gives these addictive lemon bars a tangy, sweet and slightly tart taste. WARNING: You cannot eat just one."

"If you like cheesecake that's creamy, yummy as well as very easy to make you'll love this! You'll need a 9" spring form pan.
Chef's Tip: The cake has to chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving, so plan ahead."

"Gnocchi can be found in your grocery stores but it's a far cry from homemade. This dough is made with fresh eggs and Parmesan cheese. You can serve it with butter or your favorite white cream sauce, or a marinara sauce; all will be delicious. Note: Be sure you "dimple" each piece when preparing so that the sauce is cradled inside."

"Yum! Yum! Just like when I was a child when my dad took me to the Italian neighborhood to buy these delicious Sicilian cookies."
