We love our Mexican food ! These potatoes are great when you don't want to have rice. The chorizo gives these potatoes just the right flavor and the cheese, well, everyone knows cheese makes everything...
A traditional Thanksgiving side is cornbread dressing and this is a great one. It's moist without being too wet and holds together without being too hard. Sometimes cornbread dressing can be a little dry...
I like to serve this with Pancit (main dish). I also like to have a dipping sauce with it such as duck sauce or sweet and sour sauce. There are variations to these, you can make them with vegetables only...
Aunt Susie just told me the recipe so if anything's missing I don't know and don't care because I could eat this all day long. I added green beans this last time I made it as a replacement for the green...
This is my family's traditional bread filling recipe that was passed down by my paternal grandmother. When I smell the onions and celery cooking in the butter .... I know it's Thanksgiving!
I went to my husband's cousins graduation party and someone had brought this. Everyone told me to try it and I couldn't understand what the big deal was about the "Mozzarella Dip". It looked interesting...
I'm frequently assigned the sweet potatoes for the holiday dinners. That's alright, because I love the sweetness of it. But, I keep my eyes open for new versions. This is one of the sweeter ones I've come...
I have always been crazy about hominy and I have always been surprised by how many of my fellow Northerners have never heard of it. I grew up with it, even though none of my family is from the South. Any...
These onion rings are super crispy and super delicious. They cook in only a few minutes and go great topped on a grilled steak or pork chops or served with your favorite dipping sauce.
This is so different from anything else you have ever tried. I really like it. It has a heartier flavor than a rice pilaf. It is my adaptation from the recipe in a flyer I got years ago when I bought Quaker...
I used one red onion because my husband loves raw onions. If you are not a fan of that many raw onions, simply add a ½ or even ¼ of the onion. This is an updated version of what I grew up eating. My...
This was my grandmother's recipe from the 1950s. Slow cooked, flavor infused beans, more like a main dish than a side dish. Excellent for family gatherings and pot lucks!
The first muffin in a minute is made with flaxseed, I tried this with soy flour and I think I like it better. it is 5 carbs for this and it is a big muffin. still make it in a coffee cup! nothing has changed...
This is my great grandma's recipe! It is a very moist dressing. It is also a little more on the plain side, because it doesn't have sage, poultry seasoning, or thyme. But this is what I grew up eating,...
Got this recipe many, many years ago from Gus Saunders - he had a cooking show and people would call in with recipies. My husband loves this combination of ingredients - says it's "just right" - for him...
Funny, I use to eat coleslaw when I was a child ~ later in life coleslaw never tasted the same so, I would always tell people I didn't coleslaw. Come to find out, it wasn't that I didn't like coleslaw...
I whipped this up as an alternative to the many bottled brands of Salsa and Picante products found on the grocer's shelf. Many, much too salty for my taste. It's been a hit and never fails to go over big....
This is my father's own recipe that he has made since I was in the 9th grade probably in the 70's. Everyone waits for him to make it during the Holidays!!
As a newlywed, I was asked to bring baked beans to an event at the Oak Ridge Sportsmen's Association. My parents were members there and were introducing me and my new husband to all their friends. So the...
My grandmother, Hattie Hoffman, would make a patty from left over peas (whatever variety she cooked--usually old fashioned Dixie Lee peas-most people won't have a clue about those!). She fried them to...
Such an easy recipe that I debated about posting it. This is my "go to" recipe when time is short and I'm having an oven roasted meat, such as chicken, fish or beef. I thought others might like this "shortcut"...
I got this recipe from a cookbook called "Easy Everyday Favorites", published by AllRecipes.com. This is such an easy but elegant looking recipe...and it is really good! With summer and fresh tomatoes...
I was introduced to this wonderful mexican vegetable by a store produce clerk. I was looking or something else and she handed me this and said its much better just try it. And ever since I have been in...
I spent years searching for a good stuffing recipe that could be served any day of the week (and didn't taste similar to the usual sage-flavored Thanksgiving stuffing). After trying several different recipes,...
This is one of my hometown favorites. I have never cooked as much as I do now and this seems to be one of the most I have been requested to cook for family and friends. I hope it becomes one of your favorites...
This is a must have during holiday get togethers. My mother who doesn't cook much anymore is a big fan of sweet potatoes, yams these jewels are transformed into a creamy, delightful experience that will...
This is a great side dish with the Sauerbraten recipe I recently posted or any other dish that you would serve potatoes with. I like using sour cream with chives for flavor too.
As simple as this recipe is to make, it sure does pack a lot of flavor. The tomato paste adds an additional layer of flavor that you won't get with other basic recipes for cooked black beans. It's makes...
