Author Robyn Webb says, "Bell peppers are so tasty when they are raw, so why ever mess with them by roasting them? It’s because fire does something incredibly magical to a pepper-it transforms its flavor and texture into something juicier, sweeter, and more versatile than before it stepped into the flames. Roasted peppers jazz up pasta, eggs, soups, stews, homemade pizza, and many more everyday foods."

Author Robyn Webb:"Ask anyone about childhood food memories and meatloaf is usually mentioned. We owned a collection of loaf pans when I was growing up, but my mom used them more for baking bread than forming meatloaves. She was the one who taught me to form a meatloaf into an oblong shape on a baking sheet, which let the air circulate all the way around the loaf to produce those crusty edges."

They are also freeze well for longer storage—just thaw at room temperature or toast them in the oven for a warm treat!

This cracked olive medley is a family favorite that is popular both in Calabria and Sicily. Sicilian Castelvetrano olives are becoming readily available in major supermarkets now, and if you have access to those, they are a great choice for this salad. Many Italian-American delis sell “Sicilian Colossal” olives, which also work well. You can toss a few tablespoons of this mixture into hot pasta in the winter, or chilled rice or quinoa in warner weather. It's also a great way to dress up ordinary vegetables, seafood, and meat. This recipe comes from The Mediterranean Diabetes Cookbook.
