Miner's Mush by Lyndsey

My French Canadian grandma used to make this for my dad and all his siblings. It has become a Jordan family staple. I like it with the anise, but feel free to adjust the amount or eliminate it all together. Kids generally don't like it with anise.

Simple Sole Meuniere by Nancy Miyasaki

I seem to have a fetish with dover sole right now. It’s so plentiful and inexpensive, I keep looking for different ways to cook it. This easy recipe adapted from the barefoot contessa is really delicious. The slightly burnt flour in the butter gives it a nutty flavor with I just love. You can serve this with a simple rice or pasta…

Homemade Refried Beans by John Spottiswood

I'm ashamed to say that though I LOVE refried beans, this is the first time I've ever made them myself. It's just so easy to buy them in a can, or at a mexican restaurant, that I haven't bothered. But this recipe is simple and it is definitely worth the effort in my mind. I figure my kids are the true test, since they aren't that…

Pumpkin Fried Rice by Carolinaheartstrings

A few weeks ago I fixed Farm Diva’s Chicken Fried Rice recipe for dinner. It was delicious and with a Lowcountry sweetie that was raised up on rice I had made more rice than I needed in her recipe. The leftover white rice sat in the fridge for a day or two and then one evening in a desperate-for-a-side-dish mode I looked in the…

I make these by the dozens and freeze them! They are so good!

Turkey Sausage Ragu by Mihir Shah

Perfecto! Great healthy alternative to pork and beef-based ragu. I cheat a little in this recipe and use Trader Joe's Marinara Sauce. Your guests won't notice that it's not entirely homemade and they'll love it!
