Baked beans/4 recipes

An easy classic that's even easier using a microwave oven.

A simple crockpot recipe that will help you make a savory chili that tastes amazing with a crusty bread.

Super crispy without greasy taste. This is the best crispy fried chicken you will enjoy ever.

This salad is subtle and very refreshing. There are a variety of textures-chewy cold noodles (bean thread noodles, some call them cellophane noodles 'cause when you boil them they become clear), crunchy sesame seeds, and crunchy cucumber slices. Sugar salt, and vinegar combine harmoniously, each understated but very much present.

These cookies came from our friend when he came over, they were so buttery and flakey, the right amount of sweetness. These delicious cookies are definitely not only good at Christmas!

An easy and tasty classic Chinese dish. Slice potato, carrots and bell pepper into matchsticks, quickly stir-fry with a Chinese sweet-sour sauce. Serve with steamed rice.

Instead of cooking in the pan, this omelette was baked in the oven. It took no time to make, and very easily scaled down. Sean made a 1-serving sized omelette, baked in a 8-inch skillet, and it turned out great. Tasty and filling!

A hearty, delicious stew and very filling as well. Served it with a homemade whole wheat bun, comfy and tasty.

These chocolaty, moist and buttery muffins are so delicious, it is a great way to use up some of the leftover ricotta cheese that adds the creaminess and moisture into the muffins.

A veggie hating friend was over dinner and declared "wow, if my mom made vegetables like this!" as he went for seconds. The maple coated cashews are excellent in this recipe and the gentle touch of sweetness balanced with the curry is great.

It's hard to resist any kind of cookies, such as these ones. They were buttery and delicious. Cranberries added some delicious sourness and sweetness, which perfectly balanced with the oatmeal cookies. Next time I may add some walnuts or even chocolate chips to give it a new twist.

Crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside this mexican-style baked fish delivers.

These muffins are super super moist and tasty. Blueberries, bananas and apple really moisten up these muffins, also whole wheat flour, oats and flax seeds add the nutrient and nutty-tangy flavors. They are great for breakfast to start a day!

This recipe comes from Italy by way of Argentina. Maxwell Mowry of Charleston got this recipe when he lived in Buenos Aires in the early l970s. Since there are more people of Italian ancestry in Argentina than of Spanish ancestry, it is not surprising to find panettone there, where it is called in Spanish pan dulce, meaning 'sweet bread.' At Christmas in Argentina, pan dulce is eaten accompanied by sparkling apple cider. Houseware shops in Argentina sell special tall cylindrical springform pans to bake the pan dulce, but an empty, greased 1-pound coffee can may be used.

This is my version of the wonderful dish known as General Tso's Chicken (sometimes also called General Chicken.) I use quite a bit of ground chilies in my recipe. (If you prefer a milder version just reduce the amount of ground chilies.)

Simply delicious. If you use canned beans, it only takes you about 10 minutes, a tasty and flavorful salad is ready. Have it as a side dish or a nutritious main dish.
