Gujarati Dal by Mihir Shah

This is comfort food my mom has made for as long as I've been around. She's been able to hook my kids on it; Dal is a healthy way to get protein into their diet. I serve it with some rice and yogurt. It also holds its flavor really well as a leftover snack.

Delicious Crockpot Turkey Chili by Nancy Miyasaki

This is an easy chili recipe that you can throw in the slow cooker and forget about till it's done. I made this for my family when they were out skiing, and they all raved about how good the warm chili tasted when they got back from the slopes. Easy and a real winner!

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…

Fresh Pintos by Groomsie

My grandmother Manuela taught me how to make these. She used to serve them in her restaurant in Mexico. A simple recipe which can be served as a side dish or even as an entree! Great to have your kids or grandchildren sort through the beans the night before. Remove broken beans, dirt and rocks before soaking.

Ground Chicken and Bean Bake by Adam Janowski

I’ve had a dish like this many times before, usually at potlucks or picnics, but this was the first time that I tried to make it with chicken instead of ground beef. It turned out so well that I think I will always do it that way. I included the red pepper just to spice it up a bit, but left it optional depending on your taste.

Toasted Pfoo Almond Cookies by tara cottrell

Not sure why these are called Pfoo cookies. Maybe because you eat a batch as they are coming out of the oven and scald your mouth. And then you can't talk right all day. No idea. In any case, these are incredible. Easy to make, great paired with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Little and great for…
