Red Beans And Rice

Cajun Style This bean dish is not the same as the Pinto beans that some people also call Red Beans and Rice here in Texas. This version is from Louisiana and uses the kind of beans called Red beans which is really red but after it’s cooked turns to brownish red like pinto beans. PintoContinue reading “Red Beans And Rice”

Pickled Green Tomatoes

(Unripe Tomatoes) These tomatoes were from my garden when I had a bumper crop one year. There were a lot of tomatoes on the vines that I dind’t feel bad picking them before they ripened. My husband requested fried green tomatoes one evening. So, I reluctantly picked some large, beautiful tomatoes that were still greenContinue reading “Pickled Green Tomatoes”

Easy Potato Soup

My husband hasn’t been feeling good and has no appetite lately. But he needed some nourishment though. I asked him if he wanted soup for supper so maybe he can eat and fill his stomach with something. He said he’d try. I had a few ideas of what kind of soup to cook but IContinue reading “Easy Potato Soup”

Stewed Pork With Curry

(With Or Without the Okra) This dish and recipe are the same as Stewed Chicken With Okra I previously posted. But I used pork in this stew instead of chicken to see if it would be as good as the stewed chicken with okra. As a matter of fact, I like the pork better thanContinue reading “Stewed Pork With Curry”

Stewed Chicken With Okra

(Or Without Okra) Just like most days, I couldn’t decide what to cook for dinner. I thawed a couple of chicken leg quarters, that ought to be enough for the two of us but I can’t think of what to do with them that we are not already tired of eating. I was feeling ambitiousContinue reading “Stewed Chicken With Okra”

Shrimp Lo Mein

Using Linguine Instead of Fresh Chinese Noodles The recipe for this Shrimp lo mein is about the same as the Chicken lo mein I wrote a while back. But when I cooked it with shrimp instead of chicken, I decided to write it separately from the chicken because it may be confusing to those notContinue reading “Shrimp Lo Mein”

Fried Green Tomatoes

These green tomatoes are unripe tomatoes and not the green variety. I think sometimes you can find them at the stores but only seldom and seasonal but make sure what you are buying are unripe. I started my garden very early in spring this year. The tomato plants made fruits early and were already becomingContinue reading “Fried Green Tomatoes”

Chicken’n Mushrooms

(In Cream of Mushroom Soup) I’m running out of ideas for dinner and I’m sort of tired today. I don’t want to eat out so I have to come up with something easy to cook for tonight. I thawed half of a chicken breast and wondered what to do with it that is easy butContinue reading “Chicken’n Mushrooms”

What-A-Chick’n Sandwich

Not a copycat but close to and better than… I happen to find boneless chicken breast halves on special sale at the grocery store. I could not resist to get a large family pack of them at a very low price. But when I got back home to separate them and re-package them to freeze,Continue reading “What-A-Chick’n Sandwich”

Korean Pork BBQ

Pork Bulgogi I’ve been curious how Korean bulgogi tasted like because I heard it a lot in Korean dramas which, I am very fond of watching. One day we went to try a new Korean restaurant that just opened in our area just to see and taste what a bulgogi was. This restaurant is aContinue reading “Korean Pork BBQ”
