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.

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. Crowders are really a 'Southern' treat and I first enjoyed them when visiting relatives in West…

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…

Chicken Enchilada Soup by karenrecipe

This soup consists of ingredients you can whip together quickly, throw into the slow cooker and forget about until chow time. And, as an added bonus, it doesn’t call for any “cream-of-whatever” soup.

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…
