Texas Style Pinto Beans

Texas Style Pinto Beans by Sergio Hernandez

Slightly spicy cumin, cilantro and jalapenos lend a Southwestern Tex/Mex flair to tender pinto beans in this recipe. I've added a ham hock and/or bacon for added flavor. Goes well with the spanish rice recipe I've posted.

Mexican Corn and Potatoes

Mexican Corn and Potatoes by Robyn Savoie

In the Summer roast the fresh corn and while doing that roast those Serrano's. The additional smoky flavor will only enhance this. I like to serve this as side during a picnic because you can prepare this the day before. First, leave the onions raw. Spray a disposable aluminum pan with non-stick cooking spray. Toss all the…

A fiery glaze for your fowl that Scoville would be proud of. The Scoville scale is the measurement standard for hot peppers. Habaneros for example score between 100,000-350,000, Cayenne score between 30,000-50,000 and jalapenos score between 2,500 and 8,000.

Fried Corn by Patrick Travis

One night I wanted to serve an alternative to a baked potato with a nice steak. I found several bags of corn I picked, cut off the ear and froze last summer. I just started throwing things onto the counter from the fridge and cupboards and came up with this. I've cooked it a couple of times since and this is the recipe I ended up…
