Southwest Black Bean Casserole

Southwest Black Bean Casserole by Salad Foodie

Vegetarians rejoice! This Tex-Mex favorite can be used as a side dish for 12, or as a main dish for 8. The toppings of lettuce, tomatoes, olives, green onions and sour cream together with some tortilla chips add color and crunch. You can make this with as much punch as you’d like - add minced jalapeno peppers, sriracha sauce, red…

Layered Bean Dip

Layered Bean Dip by Salad Foodie

A real party-pleaser! Versions of this recipe abound but what sets this one apart from most is it is served hot from the oven, and has a layer of ground beef. We always called this Supper Nachos but one recipe makes enough for a party appetizer for about 2 dozen people, so cut it down to size for a family dinner!

Butternut Squash and Turkey Chili

Butternut Squash and Turkey Chili by Salad Foodie

The Chili Cook-Off is over in my kitchen and there is a winner: Butternut Squash and Turkey Chili. An article in Allrecipes Magazine (9/15) on tailgate chilies inspired me to add a new variety to my repertoire. So over a few weeks I tried each of the 5 recipes that were featured.

Chicken and Cannellini Bean Soup

Chicken and Cannellini Bean Soup by Salad Foodie

We've been trying out several soups, chilies and stew variations, and this one grabbed the spotlight. The chicken and beans give this soup the comfort food satisfaction we crave in cooler fall weather. If you reduced the broth this would become white chili, but we opt instead for it as a soup. Note that the beans are undrained on…

Mexican Pozole II (Posole)

Mexican Pozole II (Posole) by Salad Foodie

This is the second installment on my mission to try different methods of making pozole. It has similar ingredients as the first one I posted (see “Useful Links” below), is less spicy and requires a longer cook time. Here are some things I liked about this one: (1) ease of preparation - just dump everything in the pot (2) a generous…

Mexican Pozole I (Posole)

Mexican Pozole I (Posole) by Salad Foodie

A hominy stew with pork or chicken, this soup can usually be found where Mexican food is popular. Has a nice “heat” to it, and as with most stews, flavors enhance next day. This recipe is based on one from the Las Palmas website and requires about 1 hour of cooking. A second version of posole is posted (see "Useful Links" below.)

Shrimp In Cilantro Sauce

Shrimp In Cilantro Sauce by Robyn Savoie

Serve this lively cilantro-accented shrimp with rice to help quell the heat of the hot peppers. This recipe will make enough sauce for dipping (salsa), over eggs in the morning and dipping veggies. You can easily use thinly sliced chicken in place of the shrimp.
