Savory Creole Sweet Potato Casserole by Amos Miller

No 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.…

Hawaiian Crest Salsa by Smokinhotchef

I came up with this recipe at the spur of the moment to accompany the shrimp recipe I was preparing for a late lunch get-together with several of my sisters and my brother Ken.

Fresh Corn and Peach Salsa by Adam Janowski

Brush with olive oil and sprinkled with fajita seasoning mix and bake in a 400 degree oven for about 12-15 minutes. Plate the salmon and spoon salsa on the side. Garnish with sprigs of cilantro.

Garlic Herbed Sweet Potatoes by Amos Miller

TRY THIS AT EASTER - it is a signature dish! It is sweet and savory with fresh herbs, dairy products and chicken broth.

This is delicious, even if it is good for you...besides, sweet potatoes…
