Lucky New Year's Black-eyed Pea Stew

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2011

Good stuff! Add some extra ham as the ham hocks are mostly for flavoring and not much meat. With the kids eating it I know it will bring us luck!

These cookies are delicious and the kids love them. I made them just like the recipe and took the suggestion of making them in mini-muffin tins. The first attempt was a bit of a disaster getting them out of the pan. The second time I used mini muffin liners and that made all the difference in the world.

Black Bean Avocado Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2009

I made this as a side dish for bbq steak and it was great. It was super easy to make and had a nice light summertime feel. I agree with the other reviewers in that I think it was missing a little something. Next time I think I might add more jalapeno or maybe red pepper for a little more heat.

Beef Stew VI

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2009

I followed the recipe with the addition of browning the meat after flouring and seasoning it. The flour and oil drippings make for a nice base to this stew. Me and the man really enjoyed it, the kids not so much.

Shrimp Etoufee III

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2009

This was a super easy meal to impress the family. I doubled the vegetables and added half a can of tomato paste and chicken broth instead of water, yummy!

Real N'awlins Muffuletta

Reviewed: Feb. 21, 2009

The real trick is getting good bread. Foccaccia bread works really well for soaking up the oil from the olive salad. I doubled the olive oil in the salad, added some roasted red pepper and halfed the amount of meat/cheese, it was excellent! One recommendation would be to used toothpicks to keep the sliced sandwich pieces together.

Golden Pork Chops

Reviewed: Feb. 4, 2009

I would definitely follow the other suggestions in pan frying the pork prior to cooking the casserole. I also think 2 cans of soup is too much, we lost a lot of onion and mushroomsn in the excess gravy. Adding fresh mushrooms, garlic and onion gave it a nice flavor but scale back on the canned soup and this is a winner.

Easy Salsa Meatloaf

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2009

This was so easy and a big hit with the kids. Like other reviewers I added a bit more fresh salsa, it made a big difference. I also used Rotel diced tomatoes with cilantro and green chiles which added a nice kick. I would double this recipe next time for yummy leftovers.
