Red Beans & Rice with SalsaA one-dish meal or side to meat or fish, red beans and brown rice are perfect partners. The salsa is a bonus to have as a garnish for the beans and rice or as a chip dip alongside. This recipe is from "In the Kitchen with Rosie (Daley): Oprah's Favorite Recipes," and posting it aligns with my resolution to peruse then use more… |

Make-over Spaghetti & Shrimp SaladOriginally mayo was the dressing for this salad recipe from a friend long ago, but I decided to give it a make-over. Adding a few new veggies and seasonings, and subbing an oil-based dressing, made it lighter and brighter. The recipe makes enough for a crowd or potluck, so cut down by one third or two thirds if needed. |

Cranberries with Jezebel SauceIf you don't care for the tart tang of cranberries - try this.

Southwestern Shell Pasta SaladChop, chop, chop and get your frustrations out making this pasta salad with south-of-the-border appeal. Choose your heat level by amount of peppers, hot sauce and chilies you add. This yields a generous bowl and serves 12-14. Make this ahead of time and chill ~ if you can wait and can keep everyone out too! |

Chili SauceChili sauce is one answer to that bumper tomato harvest. The perky piquant sauce can compliment many classic recipes like meatballs, meatloaf, cutlets, chops, tenders, eggs, potatoes, etc. This recipe is from Ball Blue Book of Canning (2010) and is what I’d deem a standard chili sauce for a wide variety of family uses. It is not… |
