What is a classic American breakfast?
A classic American breakfast often includes eggs, toast, bacon or sausage, and coffee or juice.
Can I make pancakes ahead of time?

Salsa roja is made with red tomatoes and chilies, while salsa verde is made with tomatillos and usually has a tangier flavor.
Can I substitute dried herbs for fresh in Italian recipes?

What pasta shape works best with chunky sauces?
Short shapes like penne, rigatoni, or fusilli are ideal for chunky sauces because they hold bits of vegetables and meat.
