Fresh Pintos by Groomsie

My grandmother Manuela taught me how to make these. She used to serve them in her restaurant in Mexico. A simple recipe which can be served as a side dish or even as an entree! Great to have your kids or grandchildren sort through the beans the night before. Remove broken beans, dirt and rocks before soaking.

Good Luck Black-Eyed Pea Crockpot Chili by Salad Foodie

Ensuring good luck for the New Year means including black-eyed peas on your menu. This chili makes for a hearty crockpot dish with "attitude" for New Year's Eve.

Crock Pot Chile Verde by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a super easy and delicious Chile Verde. We make a great Chile Verde from scratch with fresh tomatillos, but it's a lot of work. If you're tight for time, this recipe is 90% as good with a third the effort. The canned green salsa is made from tomatillos and the combination is really delicious. You can probably find a larger…

Pork Stew with Wine by John Spottiswood

This is another phenomenal recipe that I adapted from a recipe from James Villas in Stews, Bogs, and Burgoos. I still have not found a recipe from this book that is not amazing.

Kidney Bean Chili with Turkey, Tempeh, or Beef by Nancy Miyasaki

This is reminiscent of the chili my mother used to make. It is hearty and flavorful. I make it with turkey, the base recipe is for beef, and my good friend makes it with tempeh. Take your pick...it's delicious any way you make it. Good choices for condiments are diced tomatoes and avocado, chopped green or red onions, chopped…

Easy Honey & Soy Sauce Chicken Slow Cooker Style by Nanette

This sweet & salty recipe is a breeze in the slow cooker. No need to brown the chicken so there's little prep time involved. I made cranberry and corn muffins and a toss salad. Dinner was on the table in a half hour. This is a busy woman's delight!

To me, navy bean soup is a requirement once the weather cools off. This is a meatless version that includes dice potatoes and crisp green beans added at the very end of cooking.A hambone or a smoked turkey wing would be yummy!

Spicy Sweet & Sour Meatballs by Shawna Hill

An old pot luck favorite, the sweet and sour meatball filled crock. I have given the old recipe a bit of spice and a lot of flavor. This went over very well with the entire family for dinner served over white rice.
