Cajun Crowder Beans

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…

Alton Brown Lentil Soup

Alton Brown Lentil Soup by John Spottiswood

I adapted this recipe from one by Alton Brown. I added spinach, potatoes, and scallions and removed grains of paradise. Our whole family really enjoyed this recipe. I made it alongside an Indian curried lentil soup recipe, and while both were good, this was the hands down winner. If you're looking for a tasty, hearty, and healthy…

Chorizo Sausage and Beans

Chorizo Sausage and Beans by Carolinaheartstrings

Nothing says “cold weather classic” to me like one of my childhood favorites, beanies and weenies. At my house that is what we called pork and beans with hot dogs cut up and mixed together and baked in the oven. I loved it! My mother always made a pan of corn bread to go with it and I remember eating it when the weather was cold…

Baked Beans

Baked Beans by A.L. Wiebe

I found this recipe in an old recipe book from the 1940's when I was a young bride in the early 1970's. At the time, I thought, "wow this is ancient"! lol. Well, after my disastrous first meatloaf (came out the size of a hockey puck lol), I forged ahead and gave this a try. How brave, but I finally succeeded! This has never failed…

Italian Bean Patties

Italian Bean Patties by Polly

Great little change of pace from the usual fare. I love cooking like my grandma and mama did. Both were SO creative, coming up with dishes that were both delicious and economical, a feat many have let fall by the wayside today, with convenience foods the norm instead of the exception. It is quite a challenge to prepare a great meal…
