Recipe Sifter

This is an authentic family recipe that my mother taught me in 1950 in New Orleans. It makes a great dinner party main dish. Like chinese food, it is long on chopping and assembling, but goes together and cooks rather quickly.

Get out the crockpot for this delicious vegetable soup made with ground beef, italian zucchini squash and tomatoes.

Many recipes come out of the Caribbean that people either like or hate on first taste. This particular recipe is for a chowder that is excellent.

A spicy, but savory dish made with pinto beans and smoked ham that tastes great after being left to simmer in a crockpot.

Cornish game hens stewed in fruit and sugar -- I originally got this recipe from the Sunday magazine of the local paper. I served it last year for Christmas dinner, and it's very good. What's more, this recipe is easy: you just put everything in a bowl, marinate overnight, then bake until done!

Stir up a storm of savory goodness with this delicious stew made with a variety of meats and spices.

Very thick and rich bean salad.

If you're not in the mood for meat, try this scrumptious dish made with black eyed peas, squash, chili peppers and corn.
