Mixed Speducci - An Italian Version of Souvlaki

Speducci is an Italian traditional meal originating from the Aruzzo region of Italy. Traditionally, Speducci is made with lamb meat cut into small chunks and cubed for inserting into wooden skewers. However, you can choose any type of meat (or vegetable) to build your own unique Speducci, just remember to marinate your choice meat and vegetables overnight for best results. 

This would be a great dish to prepare for dad on Father's Day to bring home a taste of Italy and wow him on his special day!

Hamantaschen

Hamantaschen (also called Haman's Ears in Israel, or Haman's Hat in North America ) are filled triangular cookies baked especially for Purim, a joyous Jewish festival celebrating the overthrow of the evil Haman. Children don costumes and deliver gifts of food, such as these cookies, to family and friends. The cookies are delicious, so even if you aren't celebrating Purim, make some to share.
