Sweet Potato Crusted Chicken Nuggets

I was looking for ways to spice up traditional chicken nuggets and came up with this recipe. The chips add a crunchy texture and flavor, while the meat is tender on the inside.

Shrimp Wiggle

Since canned shrimp was very expensive when I was growing up, this special dish always seemed like a real treat. It's still a treat today because it's delicious. Shrimp Wiggle is so satisfying, it's one-dish dinner!

Pork

Cubed Steaks Parmigiana

Are you tired of chicken fried steak? This recipe dresses up cubed steaks Italian-style with cheese, tomato sauce, basil and oregano. My husband and I like this main dish with a side of fettuccine Alfredo.

XO Sauce

This recipe is adapted from Danny Bowien's recipe in The Mission Chinese Food Cookbook and from Chris Jaeckle's served at the restaurant All'Onda, but also from a lot of trial and error on a Saturday afternoon.

Pork

Chicken Vegetable Curry

This comfort dish gets fabulous flavor when I add chicken, sweet red peppers, coconut milk and the all-important seasoning, curry powder.

Pork

Pot Roast with Asian Black Bean Sauce

I love stir-fry with black bean sauce. This recipe takes the delicious flavor of black bean sauce and joins it with fork-tender pot roast.

Edna Lewis & Scott Peacock's Shrimp Grits

Like many of the recipes in The Gift of Southern Cooking, this recipe is a little bit Scott Peacock and a little bit Edna Lewis. Stirred through the creamy grits, the shrimp paste goes further than a few pretty prawns piled on top ever could, pervading every spoonful with the pure essence of shrimp at its best and most seductive. The shrimp paste also makes a lovely spread for crackers and all-purpose flavor enhancer (just imagine stirring it into risotto, saucing fish, or filling tea sandwiches with it).

Pork

Corned Beef Hash Rustic Pie

This suppertime pie has all the yummies: homemade crust, seasoned potatoes, and lots and lots of corned beef and cheese.

Pork

Wok Your Pork

Stir-frying is such an easy way to cook and it is so delicious too. The ginger in this meal compliments the pork well and the sweetness makes it disappear fast.

Spicy-sweet grilled shrimp dinner that practically makes itself.
