KK's Cheezy Cornbred by Homemade & Yummy

This is a wonderful moist cornbread full of corn pieces and lots of kick. You can easily adjust the heat level by increasing/decreasing the amount of pepper used.

Savory Creole Sweet Potato Casserole by Amos Miller

No sweet topping here - this has breadcrumbs & bacon and the Creole twist of Jamaican Pickapeppa Sauce in the yams.

Chipotle Chickpea Dip by K. Garner

This is based on the same-titled recipe on Fat Free Vegan.com. I used heaping tablespoons of chipotle peppers, white onion, and a mixture of fresh and bottled lime juice. This dip is FANtastic.

The…
