started this recipe a year or so ago, and i toyed with it and toyed with it until i perfected it...try it out yourself and see what changes you'd make!!
This is a recipes I've had for years but never made until a few months ago. DH really liked this dish with breaded pork chops and gravy. The texture resembles soft mashed potatoes. Cook time assumes canned...
Great for bringing to dinner parties with vegetarians! Can also be made with balsamic vinegar instead of red wine vinegar. Also, try subbing in cucumber (or just adding it). I use Unico bean medley, but...
This chili goes together fairly quickly--it only simmers for about 45 minutes to an hour, instead of for several hours like some chili recipes. It makes a good weeknight dinner; I love it best with cornbread,...
This dal is exceptionally simple to make (there is no tempering oil as with some others), yet the flavors are very full. Dried mango powder (you can also use lemon juice) gives it a sourness that balances...
Easy and delicious...this dip is always the 1st to go at parties. If you have any leftover just add chicken or steak (maybe a little salsa) with a flour tortilla and you have a great tasting burrito!
Another variation on a staple in our house - beans! You can fry these in a bit of olive oil or bacon fat the next day and top with cheese for round two and you may like them even better! I have read that...
I love colcannon (or bubble and squeak) but it wasn't allowed on my low GI diet so I came up with this. Very different to what you may have tried but very yummy. My mum likes to put a poached egg on top...
Impress your friends and family with our mouthwatering Slow-Cooker Pork Cassoulet. This hearty stew is made with pork shoulder, sausage, bacon and beans.
I don't usually make chili with ground beef, but I like this one. Spice it up if you like it hotter. I like the flavor of the jalapenos coming through in this one, so I eat it as is.
If you like bean salad, you should like this dish. It is from a Pillsbury cookbook I got when I was first married. My family does not care for kidney beans, so I use 2 cans of green beans with the wax...
This go-to vegetarian entree is an oldie. For extra tang, drizzle with a little yogurt over the top. Heather Carlucci-Rodriguez of the now closed restaurant Lassi; from the NY Times.
From The Recipe Hall of Fame Cookbook II. Notes from recipe: This can be refrigerated overnight or popped in the oven. For a delicious one-dish meal, increase beef to 2 lbs.
This recipe was adapted from Neal Barnard's cookbook, "Turn Off the Fat Genes". This is so good, you won't even miss the cheese! To shorten future preparation time, make extra gravy and freeze for up to...
From Elizabeth Baird's blog, an easy hummus with variations. Apparently, putting the garlic in the food processor can make it bitter, so stir in finely chopped or crushed garlic after processing. Variations...
This was created during my days on Phish tour..... I sold it on the lots to pay for my concert tickets and living expenses. Although the recipe is vegetarian, I've had many people tell me they don't even...
Chinese people do not eat raw vegetables. We cook them. You can add meat or mushrooms to the dish. This is very flexible. I would just like to introduce this to people worldwide.
An 8-hour soaking time is needed but if you enjoy something different this just may be it. Garlic and warm spices add so much to this substantial soup. From Ethnic Cuisine.
This is a dish that is great for those days when it is just a lot of work to cook. Can be prepared ahead and frozen or simply prepared and eaten. My father taught me how to do this as a child and he loved...
from "TSC - How to Cheat on Your Man (in the Kitchen)" p261 Please note that this is the vegetarian version. 30 ounces of beans can be replaced by 1 pound of ground beef or turkey, but -MUST- be sauteed...
This recipe came from one of my mom's friends. These are the best baked beans ever. Whenever there were family gatherings or work picnics these beans were always requested.
This chili recipe took me two years to perfect. It's just a basic beef chili, but it's really good! Try substituting ground turkey--it works great too. Doubling or tripling this recipe is no problem. I...
Want the taste of green beans canned from a garden, but aren't able to can? This is a wonderful substitute. I learned this technique from a good friend. Put it in the crockpot on low before you head to...
I tweaked this recipe from one in La Cucina Italiana magazine. There are so many Amazing recipes in that publication! What I have done is add some herbs to get that extra little zip in flavor. You can...
I used this recipe for week 27 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook on meal from every nation on Earth, and Belize is my 27th stop. Please note that I never use any recipe for my...
