I found this recipe 30 years ago on a can label. My family loved it, and I later found I always received compliments when I took the dish to potluck suppers. Since it's so easy to put together, it makes a real time-saver for a busy housewife or working mother. 

Tomatoes and garlic are simmered with anchovies, capers, olives and red pepper flakes to make a spunky sauce for your favorite pasta. 

Dried black beans are cooked all day in a slow cooker with chicken broth, canned jalapenos, cumin, chili powder and cayenne pepper. 

A meaty black bean soup with sausages and chicken cooked with bay leaf, cumin and tomato paste. A splash of sherry added immediately before serving brightens the flavors. 

Fried plantains are a traditional treat in many parts of the world. Try them once and you'll be hooked. Overly ripe plantains work best for this recipe. 

A super speedy enchilada sauce with a truly authentic taste. 

Simple and quick beef enchiladas. Ground beef and onion are wrapped in flour tortillas, topped with Cheddar cheese and black olives, then baked. This is also great with leftover chicken, shredded beef or turkey. Serve with a green salad or beans and rice. 

These muffins are delicious -- they are my uncle's recipe. Since I was born until I was ten or eleven I would have one of these muffins with breakfast every morning. They have just the perfect amount of everything, light and sweet. Then I learned to bake them myself and have been ever since. It's also a good way to use up bananas that are somewhat past their best days. 

Enjoy this great pumpkin muffin recipe. These muffins stay very moist and fresh for at least a week. They taste good even when frozen and defrosted. 

Cucumber slices are tossed with a cool, creamy vinegar and sugar dressing in this splendid summer salad. 

Potatoes are roasted with andouille sausage in this delicious side dish! 

These fries are similar to those you can buy on the street sides out of trailer trucks except these are baked instead of deep fried. 

These halibut fillets are stuffed with a mixture of cream cheese and salad shrimp. If the thick filets are not available, you can spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the thinner filets and fold in half, using a tooth pick to keep in place during cooking. The fresher the fish for this recipe, the better! This is great served with fresh steamed broccoli. 

Creamy, spicy sauce-covered halibut fillets. Goes good with potato salad and green beans, or try it with rice and a green salad. Covers that fishy taste that accompanies some fish. Very good! 

The filling for these enchiladas combines halibut with green onion, bell pepper, cilantro, sour cream, mayonnaise, and Cheddar cheese. 

A baked fish dish. You get to choose the heat. Use mild salsa for a little heat and extra hot salsa for lots of heat! Serve with rice, black beans, warm tortillas and lime Margaritas for a festive meal! 

Soy and ketchup, laced with honey and garlic, make for a potent sauce. This chicken is ideal for appetizers or a main course. 

A parmesan crust lifts these chicken nibbles above the ordinary. Serve alone or with an array of dipping sauces. 

Light and fluffy with lots of zucchini and fresh corn, these yummy fritters are a family favorite. Serve hot with ranch dressing. 

This savory snack from Robin Boynton of Harbor Beach, Michigan tastes just like store-bought bagel chips...and it's a great way to use up leftover bagels.
