CAJUN-STYLE RED BEANS AND RICE
This is a hearty Southern dish, easy to make and full of flavor and quite spicy! I sometimes add in cooked ground beef, you can add in some chopped cooked bacon or use spicy dryed smoked sausage to the beans for smokey flavor --- I also like to add in some Creole seasoning -- see my recipe#186029

GREEN BEAN AND WAX BEAN SALAD WITH TABASCO VINAIGRETTE
Altered slightly from a recipe off tabasco.com. For this salad, I used yellow (wax) beans for half the amount of green beans. Any greens will work in the salad: baby spinach, frisee, crisp romaine, collards, as long as they're super fresh. Go ahead if you wish and substitute another variety of Tabasco sauce: Chipotle for a smokier flavor, Habanero for a fiery hot flavor, etc. (You may have to reduce the amount indicated.)
