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

• Devil's food cake

  • TaffyDeb on August 02, 2018

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

• Best-ever carrot cake

  • Melissa_427 on April 08, 2026

    The simplest carrot cake in my collection. Not necessarily the best, but simple was the need.

• Cheese soufflé

  • naomi_72uffe on February 18, 2026

    I used cheddar cheese with a bit of Parmesan. It turned out good!

• Peach-glazed pork tenderloin

  • vhague on January 02, 2014

    Delicious and easy.

• Oven-fried chicken

  • b_fm6y3c on February 19, 2026

    Made this countless times. I like to tenderize the chicken to help thicker pieces cook faster. I mix up the seasoning according to sides.

• Three-bean salad

  • drivamrgn on May 10, 2026

    This one is always a hit at family picnics and other gatherings. It's a revamped recipe from my childhood.

• Tabbouleh

  • drivamrgn on May 10, 2026

    I have made some variation of this recipe more times than I can remember. It may be my favorite recipe in the ol' red & white cookbook.

• Cheesy scalloped potatoes

  • melinda_wnk7cy on April 20, 2026

    I doubled the recipe and cook time.

• Lemon cream-sauced pasta with asparagus and squash

  • Clarityandstatic on June 02, 2026

    Good, but needed salt, more lemon, and Parmesan.
