	Homemade Refried Beans by John Spottiswood I'm ashamed to say that though I LOVE refried beans, this is the first time I've ever made them myself.

	Tequila-Flamed Mangoes Over Vanilla Ice Cream by Marisa Musto Before the mangoes are flamed they are baked with brown sugar. This process makes them sweet and syrupy.

	Kheemah Kheemah Kheehah Chamelion by kathy gori Ok, I'm sure I'm dating myself with that one. I remember when I was dancing around with one earring and big hair and leggings and I hadn't yet started cooking Indian food. But that's another tale for another time. Boy George aside...

	Chili Sauce by Salad Foodie Chili sauce is one answer to that bumper tomato harvest. The perky piquant sauce can compliment many classic recipes like meatballs, meatloaf, cutlets, chops, tenders, eggs, potatoes, etc. This recipe is from Ball Blue Book of Canning (2010) and is what I’d deem a standard chili sauce for a wide variety of family uses. It is not…	4 votes 3 reviews 1 comment 18449 views
