Cajun Crowder BeansAlso known as Crowder peas, these delicious little fellas can often be found in frozen form at the store. These are fresh picked right here in Michigan and, like fava beans and so many other seasonal treats, we rush them to the table. Crowders are really a 'Southern' treat and I first enjoyed them when visiting relatives in West… |

Caribbean Citrus Pork RoastTake a vacation from the ordinary marinated pork loin. This exciting blend of island flavors makes an extraordinary roast. This recipe used a rolled roast, composed of 2 boneless loins tied together. If a single loin roast is used, the cooking time will be about 25 minutes per pound. Heavy, resealable, plastic… |

Swiss Mushroom Pheasant BreastThis entree is easy to prepare but looks and tastes special enough for company and special-occasion suppers. Everyone enjoys the golden pheasant breasts topped with ham, melted Swiss cheese and fresh mushrooms. |

Tostadas with Shredded Pork and SpicesCrisp fried tortillas topped with re-fried beans and spiced shredded pork make a delectable treat and are often sold from stalls in Mexican City streets. I like to switch between black and pinto re-fried beans for variety. I also found you can easily make this using a crock-pot/slow cooker; see tip below. |

Roast Pork with Maple-Mustard Glaze & SauceDid you know? New York produces more maple syrup than Vermont. And pig farms are a major industry. Maple syrup combined with mustard and sage lets the flavors of a good pork loin sing. I suggest serving this roast with sautéed apples, another major New York State crop, and crisp-tender green beans. |

Savory Creole Sweet Potato CasseroleNo sweet topping here - this has breadcrumbs & bacon and the Creole twist of Jamaican Pickapeppa Sauce in the yams. It is good to venture outside your comfort zone from time to time - and this is a good way to start! I was set on this culinary path in 1987 when first introduced to Chef Austin Leslie at Chez Helene in New Orleans.… |

Garbage Salad (not really)This salad will make the meal, or be the meal. Broccoli, oranges, almonds, raisins, mushrooms, onion & bacon - and a fabulous classic sweet & tangy creamy dressing! Vegetarians can substitute bac-o-bits, or not add a bacon substitute. Throwing together bits and pieces of a variety of items has long been the basis of some great… |
