Cajun Crowder Beans

Cajun Crowder Beans by Amos Miller

Also known as Crowder peas, these delicious little fellas can often be found in frozen form at the store. These are fresh picked right here in Michigan and, like fava beans and so many other seasonal treats, we rush them to the table.

Easy Parmesan Herb Bread

Easy Parmesan Herb Bread by myra byanka

Serve this quick bread with an appetizer dip, butter, hummus, or tzaziki, or slice and toast for sandwiches. It only requires one minute of kneading, and you can use dried herbs from your pantry, if you don't have fresh ones.

MALAYSIAN FISH BALLS

MALAYSIAN FISH BALLS by Linda Tay Esposito

Bouncy meatballs! My good aunt, Shirley, shared this recipe with me - her secret ingredient is to add the egg (you must stir in in one directions, she says) to make the fish ball puff up during frying.

Spicy Sour Cream & Avacado Dip

Spicy Sour Cream & Avacado Dip by Wendi Taylor

This makes a delightful dip with corn or tortilla chips, or as a topping for enchiladas and tacos. You can also substitute ranch dressing for the sour cream (this makes a wonderful salad dressing or sandwich spread). There are many uses for this - experiment! I like to use a spoonful as a topping for soup or chilli.
