Creamed Spinach with Jalapeno Peppers from Home Cooking

Another 5 star; not as spicy as you might guess (but you can fix that if you like). Creamed spinach with a kick! Finger-licking (spoon-licking) good. Has become an annual thanksgiving side, and each time... read more >

senegalese peanut soup : page 44

This was very easy, and very warming. Completely hit the spot. I used half and half instead of heavy cream, and thought it was fine. It took me a bit longer than I thought it would to get the peanuts ground to the right texture, but only a matter of a couple of minutes. I will make this again, and bump up the seasonings a little bit, and then it will be a keeper for me. (My curry powder could be a bit fresher, I think...) It froze well, and then I REALLY liked it; because homemade soup popped out of the freezer really makes me feel taken care of.

Skillet Blueberry Cobbler : page 279

Insanely easy and insanely delicious. Right out of the oven, I could have (and should have) eaten the whole thing with a big spoon and some ice cream. I saved some for my family, but they didn't swoon as much as I did. It has a stick of butter, so, I mean, it's an awesome indulgence. Heat the blueberries in the butter, glob on the topping, and bake for 20 minutes. Then make everyone leave the house and lock the door. And sit, and enjoy. Or, invite over a few people who really deserve it.
