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.

Grandmas Roast Beef by Two Southern Girls

Roast Beef was a staple when we went to visit Grandma on vacation. After a long drive I would come through the door and be greeted by the sweet smell of Red Wine and Garlic and I knew what was in store; Roast Beef and Pilaf. The best part was the next day when she would let me put some of the leftovers on a shish- Ka- Bob stick…

Giggling Gourmet's Rage'n Cajun Jambalaya by Giggling Gourmet

Good for those gatherings anytime of the year!!! This has a nice mild spicy heat without the hot sauce, but, I find kicking it up a notch with your own choice of a good zinger kind of hot sauce makes this dish a lot of fun to eat with everyone around the table! Warms the bones, tickles the ribs and fills those bellies!!

Stove Top White Chicken Chili by ChaCha Can Cook

I love this recipe because it is such a change from traditional chili. In this recipe I use tomatillos, which are available in most areas locally, and have an unusual taste that most people (I know) haven't tried. This chili is rich, hearty, and very satisfying on cold days. It freezes really well, and please remember to adjust…

Herbed Duck Broth with Wild Rice by Amos Miller

Take most of one duck, some fresh herbs, the flavors from a few vegetables and simmer. Voila! It's that simple. Almost. This recipe employs one duck, but you will be able to serve each of 6 to 8 diners a lovely bowl of this 'soup course' delight. What we have here is not a consomme, not a soup, and not really, by classical…

Crock-Pot Maple Mustard Sauced Turkey Thighs by Robyn Savoie

The cool weather has finally arrived. Goodbye fresh corn and tomatoes, and hello stew! This is great in a crock-pot but if you don't have one, this is easily adaptable to the oven. The trick to slow cooking is to brown the meat first, before you put it in the slow cooker. You’ll just get more flavor that way. Turkey is a…
