Quick and Easy Spicey Refried Bean DipThis is a great party dip. I've learned to put out small bowels when several of our friends come over for dinner as they will eat the entire thing before I can get dinner out. They LOVE it. Play with the flavors in this dip by changing the type of salsa and chili powders you use. There's no right or wrong chilies or salsa, just use… |

Favorite Enchilada SauceWhen I was a kid growing up in the 50’s my folks had a rustic glazed terracotta casserole dish they bought in Mexico. Once or twice a month my dad would take the dish down to a little Mexican takeout place called Johnson’s Enchiladas and would have it filled with Johnson’s beef enchiladas. The enchiladas had a simple ground beef… |

Black Bean SoupIt's winter, snows on the ground and I just finished plowing our road. What a great time for some warm comfort food and this black bean soup fills the bill perfectly. Simple, not too spicy and full of flavor. |

Southwestern Rib RubThis is a very simple rub that takes only a few minutes to put together. I use it on pork ribs but it’s excellent on beef also. Rather than baby back ribs, I like to use this rub with regular meaty spareribs. I grill the ribs for about 1 ½ - 2 hours. This does not make a fall off the bone rib but rather one you can really sink… |

Southwestern Pork BBQ SauceThis is my favorite BBQ sauce for pork and beef. Normally one would just make the sauce when they want to grill but since I grill a lot during the summer I find it easier if I make 5 or 6 batches of the dry ingredients at a time. I put each batch in a small plastic cup or bag and store them in the freezer. When I am ready to grill… |

Shrimp and Spinach GratinThis recipe is one I created when I could not find the main ingredient for a main dish I planed. I had most of the other ingredients so I improvised, changed a bit of this and substituted a bit of that.... The result was this delicious casserole. It's a one dish meal and very easy to prepare. If you like spicier food, add some… |

Southwestern ChickenThis is a favorite way to prepare chicken. It’s very versatile and can be served over lettuce as a taco salad, in a taco shell, or wrapped in a tortilla with rice and beans as a burrito. I’ve also used it as a base for soup with chicken broth. |

Southwestern Beef & Hominy SoupThis is a hearty soup that only takes about 1 hour from start to finish. I started looking at a Pork Posole recipe but did not have the time to thaw, cube, and brown the pork, but I did have a pound of ground beef in the fridge. I substituted 1 lb of ground beef for 2 lb of cubed pork; a red enchilada sauce for green; 1 can of beef… |
