Mitch's Smoky Spicy BBQ sauce by Micheline

My BBQ sauce is spicy and sweet, has a smoked flavour and is great with pulled pork, pulled beef or pulled chicken sandwiches. You can serve it with any meat to enhance its flavour.

Mexican Charra Beans by Marlin Rinehart

Vegetarian Beet Burger by Micheline

This vegetarian burger has the unusual addition of 1 tbsp of grated beets, just enough to give the burger a pleasant color. Once cooked, this burger looks and tastes like a meat burger. It is delicious!

Anyone Can Pickle! Cherries, Sweet, Spicy and Fast! by kathy gori

I've always been interested in pickles, preserving and canning. I guess it's my inner squirrel speaking. The little squeaky voice in my head in the middle of summer that says "save all those wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables you see now, its going to be a long cold winter". I love looking into my larder when the rain is…

Spinach Balls by Glenn

Found this on the web at mydailymoment.com and decided to give it a try since I love spinach. It was easy to prepare but I don't think I got the spinach fully defrosted and "squeezed dry."

Vegetarians rejoice! This Tex-Mex favorite can be used as a side dish for 12, or as a main dish for 8. The toppings of lettuce, tomatoes, olives, green onions and sour cream together with some tortilla chips add color and crunch. You can make this with as much punch as you’d like - add minced jalapeno peppers, sriracha sauce, red…

Grilled Baby Artichokes with Chefs Dressing by Robyn Medlin

The grill adds so much flavor to the chokes that you don’t really need a sauce, but I am a sucker for a dipping sauce so I made this yummy sauce to go with it inspired by the Chef’s Dressing at Houston’s Restaurant. If you don’t feel like making the dipping sauce, the chokes are perfectly wonderful with a drizzle of olive oil, sea…
