Ruccola & Salami Involtini

Welcome back everybody to Mel's little kitchen... I've recently been on vacation to a lovely city off the shore of Italy... come now.. you all know it... Venice! While in Venice, I not only got to explore famous museums or churches, but actually got to taste the food which was magnificent! One of my favorite ON THE GO snacks was Involtini. It is a cross between a pizza and a sandwich all rolled up into one. What a joy it was to mimic this special treat and sharing it with you was fun in the video makig. Hope you all enjoy making Imboltinis as much as I do! Cheers!

Halloween is near and we tend to prepare for our festive holiday by scrounging for recipes. Here is one that can be used as a cupcake topper, or as a foam for your hot chocolate drinks, or just by itself. Surprise your friends or trick or treaters with these delightful cookies!

Ingredients:

• 2 egg whites
• 1 tsp of salt

Make sure your oven is preheated to 300º F or 150º C. Blend your egg whites, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla until it becomes hard and foamy. Gradually add the sugar until it becomes a marshmallowy consistency. Bake for 25 minutes and allow to cool for 20 minutes. Then serve.
