Tomato Gravy
This recipe reminds me of the tomato dumplings my mom-mom used to make when I was little. Oh, how I loved those! This is a meal that just kinda changes up things every once in a while and it won’t be a meal that is for everyone. We really enjoy it here though. Continue reading “Tomato Gravy”

Easy Bean Tostadas
These are so easy to make and you can get very creative with the toppings that you use on them. They are also a good way to use up leftover beans that you may have sitting around. You can also use leftover mashed potatoes in place of the beans. Or add a little cooked meat too.
The kids can help by spreading out the beans and topping their own tostadas. Continue reading “Easy Bean Tostadas”
Black Eyed Peas
I had never been a big fan of black-eyed peas. When I was trying to come up with a semi-traditional New Year’s meal a few years ago I decided that they should be included as we need all the good luck we can get. Right?
Well, I can’t guarantee that these will bring you good luck but they will fill your tummy. This recipe was a big hit at our house and so easy to make. We actually eat it a few times a year just because we like it. Continue reading “Black Eyed Peas”
