[ Italian Braciole ] Braciole is a stuffed rolled flank steak. Meatballs are the everyday standby for the meat that accompanies pasta. For holidays we add country style spare ribs and BRACIOLE. Each family has a variation on the stuffing ingredients. Our recipe has raisins which add sweetness to the meat. I sometimes think braciole is the Italian version of stew. You braze and cook the meet until it “melts in your mouth”. (Click photo to see recipe.)

[ Turkey Chili Vagabond] Easy, Make-ahead, Crowd Friendly, Spice it up. ​​With the focus away from beef, I swapped out the beef. Then, added turkey and cajun chicken sausage. Spice it up as much as you like. Serve Vagabond in a bowl, tucked into pita bread, or a sloppy slider.
