Homemade Refried Beans

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.

Orange Sauce (for cooked carrots) by Micheline

Are you tired of serving plain carrots? This is an excellent sweet sauce you can serve on top of cooked carrots to impress family and friends.
