Struffoli, or honey balls, are a delightful traditional Italian dessert made from deep-fried dough balls coated with honey and flavored with spices. These bite-sized desserts are usually served during the Christmas season but can be enjoyed year-round.
They are a great way to bring the flavors of Italy to your kitchen and to share the love of Italian culture with your friends and family. So, grab some struffoli and enjoy the sweet, traditional Italian honey balls!
This is one of my mother’s favorite Italian Recipes, Chicken Cacciatore. Enjoy this wonderful Italian chicken recipe at home. This Italian dish features chicken pieces (such as thighs, legs, breast and wings), tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, olives, mushrooms, and herbs. It’s a delicious one-dish meal that can be served over a bed of cooked pasta or rice, and it’s perfect for busy weeknights. The name of this dish comes from the Italian phrase, “alla cacciatora,” which means “hunter-style.” This hearty and flavorful dish has been enjoyed for generations and is a great way to get a little bit of everything on one plate.
The Cannoli is an Italian pastry shell filled with sweet ricotta cheese or mascarpone cream. Add mini chocolate chips, pistachios or pieces of dried fruit to each end and sprinkle with powdered sugar as a garnish. Traditionally, they are served as part of the Italian dessert course. A Cannoli can also be served as a snack or enjoyed even for breakfast. Yes I said it, Breakfast!

These delicious meatballs were my Mothers recipe, we only used regular ground beef. Other folk used ground beef, pork & veal in their mix. We couldn’t afford the luxury of several meats, so this is what I grew up on, it is amazing & we loved it.
When I made these, I combined the cheeses and breadcrumbs, with chopped artichoke hearts and a half a stick of melted butter. I filled the caps with this mixture only, topped with Roma tomato slices and it made a delicious cheesy, mouthwatering Portobello appetizer!
