Kidney Beans and Corn
I gave this recipe 5 stars b/c I thought the combo of flavors were very good, however, I did make some changes. I used butter instead of olive oil to saute the onions and garlic, I used vidalia onions and doubled the garlic. I also drained and rinsed the kidney beans and added a can of Rotel tomatoes like another reviewer suggested. I also used frozen corn instead of the canned and cut the spices in half, omitting the cayenne pepper. I garnished with cilantro and served over mashed potatoes for something different. Tonight, I will use the leftovers to make Quesadillas. I think with these tweaks, it was pretty darn tasty. Sometimes you just have to make a recipe to suit your own tastes. This was a great recipe that was fast and easy, you could use what you have on hand which is nice.

Fruit Dip II
This was yummy! I folded in the whipped cram like some of the other reviewers did, I also used reduced fat cream cheese, next time though, I'll try using a non-dairy whipped topping instead of the whipped cream to save on some fat and calories. Thanks for the recipe!

Holiday Burritos
Living in NM, I had to try this recipe. They are wonderful anytime, not just for the holidays. I have made these a few times for a quick and easy dinner on a weeknight. Thank you for sharing.
