"This is a personal recipe -- tried and true -- made time and time again. I use this in the good ol summa' time, but can be used during the rest of the year as well. Normally, I buy "cold steamed blue crabs" from our local fish market, that are bursting with flavor after resting in the unique Maryland seasoning. I pick the meat, and make..."

"This is my adaptation of a recipe from Cooking Light Magazine (03/07). These black bean burgers are a delicious vegetarian entree and reheat very well in a toaster oven or in a pan. I recommend serving them with rice, greens, salsa and sour cream. Be careful to fully drain the beans and cook the patties long enough so that they will stay together."

Ingredients: ground cumin, cooking spray...

"No matter what meal you serve it for, this is bound to become a classic on your table. Spoon Bread has always been part of our family fare dating back to my grandfather. Hope you like it!

"Chef Douglas Rodriguez of DeLaCosta restaurant in Chicago was born in America, but this recipe is inspired by his mother's black bean soup, which offered robust flavor for people who didn't have money to spend on meat for stock. Here we use both fresh and dried oregano because each imparts a different flavor to the final dish. The ham is listed..."

"This is the most delicious homemade pizza I've eaten. It's a borrowed recipe I tweaked to make lower sodium. It is versatile. It makes a lot of sauce, so you can either make the whole lot or you can make a couple of pizzas and freeze the remaining sauce and use when you are short on time. You can use whatever cheeses and toppings you want..."

Ingredients: prepared pizza crust, pepper...

"Courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2007 - Emeril Live. Episode: Cookin Up Cuban. We served this the other day & the residents enjoyed it immensely. We also added pimento stuffed olives to the tomato sauce - that made it taste just right!"

Ingredients: salt & freshly ground black pepper, dried oregano...

"This is one of the few Cuban dishes that is a little spicy, rather, it is redolent with garlic and tomatoes and the succulent flavor of fresh-caught shrimp. As all Cuban favorites, it is served with white rice and either ripe or green plantains. Add a green salad and garnish with some cilantro and you're good to go. Delicious!"
