Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Spicy black beans and rice

    • pitterpat4 on June 25, 2015

      I didn't have Mexican style tomatoes on hand so used home-canned tomatoes and added cumin, cilantro and a touch of hot sauce. Needed more salt. Did well as leftovers - reheated well in the microwave the next day. Sprinkled a little cheese on it for extra protein. June 2015

  • Sourdough bread

    • geri_2706bl on March 19, 2026

      Very east to follow recipe and it produced great results.

  • Banana-walnut bread

    • ruby_yb35a5 on February 12, 2026

      Odd recipe. Not sure if my loaf came out as intended. It was not very good

  • Devil's food cake

    • TaffyDeb on August 02, 2018

      Best with the 7-minute frosting found in the same book.

  • Tuna-noodle casserole

    • hashi on March 14, 2025

      I’ll always give this one 5 stars - throw back to my childhood. Didn’t add pimientos and next time I’ll use cream of mushroom soup to get that authentic mom-made touch. Good stuff.

  • Peach-glazed pork tenderloin

    • vhague on January 02, 2014

      Delicious and easy.

  • Chicken jambalaya

    • janet_x28jp9 on March 18, 2026

      I find the recipes in this book to be solid starting points for dishes. I usually have to tinker with seasoning but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Next time I will definitely add more hot sauce and instead of cooked chicken, maybe add chicken with the rice to cook and get more flavor?

  • Tartar sauce

  • Barley-beef soup

    • ruby_yb35a5 on March 11, 2026

      Simple and good, easily modified

  • Scalloped potatoes

    • medson on January 04, 2026

      Add more salt and pepper to recipe than suggested. Otherwise excellent.
