Black-Eyed Peas With Ham Hocks

Wed, 12 Sep 2001 11:19:20 -0400

Fall and winter are coming and this is a dish that will warm you up on a cold day. If you simmer it long enough, it will take on a stew-like consistency. I serve it with a little chopped tomato and onion on top with skillet cornbread on the side. You can also use pintos, limas, ore northern beans in place of the black-eyes. I hope you like it! -- posted by adam k.

Senegalese sweet potato, rice and beans stew

Sat, 09 Mar 2002 23:04:04 -0500

In the early 1990's, a housemate of mine went to Goree Island in Senegal, and came back with this recipe and a husband :-) This is a hearty, tasty stew of yams, black-eyed peas, and rice. I like to serve it on New Years Day. Use more or less hot pepper depending on your preference. -- posted by Geri by the Sea

Chicken Curry Soup with Coconut and Lime

Fri, 21 Mar 2003 20:14:05 -0500

Anything with coconut and lime just takes me right back to the tropics. I love this soup. It's actually a Thai recipe and is very easy and quick create. Plus, I usually have these ingredients on hand anyway, so it is also inexpensive. Enjoy. -- posted by Normaone

Pumpkin Dumplings

Fri, 25 Apr 2003 20:03:14 -0400

Here is a nifty little side dish. It's inexpensive and really quite easy to prepare. Plus, they can be boiled in advance and sauteed just before serving. These little dumplings are kind of like spaetzle and would go nicely with anything grilled. You could also combine them with any number of sauces: tomato, cheese, etc. I hope you enjoy them! -- posted by Normaone

Autumn Chicken Stew

Mon, 03 Nov 2003 20:02:05 -0500

I adapted this recipe from one that appeared in BBC Good Food magazine and loved the rich, earthy flavours it produced. The original inspiration for this dish apparently comes from Tunisia and it certainly reminded me of some African stews I have had. The changes I made were to use butternut squash instead of pumpkin, fresh ginger instead of ground and two cans of tomatoes instead of one. I also used my chili olive oil, which is stored in a jar with hot chillis to give it some bite, but if you don't have any spicy oils to use, you could add in a bit of chili powder, cayenne pepper or some harissa. This is a very adaptable recipe so have fun playing with it. -- posted by Sackville

Peanut Butter Peanut Brittle

Thu, 20 Nov 2003 19:59:49 -0500

I was leery of using so much peanut butter and only put in 1 1/2 cups. It worked fine. Next time I will try the 2 1/2 cups of peanut butter. If you want to use dry roasted peanuts, add them when you add the peanut butter. -- posted by barbacious

Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Fri, 16 Jan 2004 19:59:40 -0500

Stock your pantry ahead of time to whip up this delicious satisfying soup. It comes together quickly for a nice meal. I got the recipe from Southern Living Magazine (Carol Michael Hewett, Texas). I made a few changes by adding celery, and adding 3 more cups of broth (because we don't like soup that thick). The original recipe called for 5 cups of water. I used part water and part chicken broth. -- posted by luvmybge

This recipe is from Apple Companion, which I found at Amish Acres in the heart of Indiana's Amish country. If you ever have a chance, pick up a copy of this cookbook! I have found most of the recipes to be outstanding, including this one, which I make at least once every fall or winter. -- posted by Barbara Steele

Sauteed Ripe Plantains

Mon, 16 Feb 2004 20:00:00 -0500
