Ideas for Sunday dinner
May 7th, 2006 Posted in Uncategorized
While reading the blog Down Home Soul Food Cooking, I came across the following recipie that reminded me of a meal I cooked a while back:
Slimmed Down Red Beans And Rice
(I’m linking to this site because I really hope he doesn’t quit with this concept for a blog–I did not see any postings for May)
The recipie I used was similar to this MINUS the pork or ham hock.
I also made some jerk chicken (on the grill) to go with the red beans and rice.
Oh yeah…I also made some cornbread (the recipie I used included a can of creamed corn).
hmmm…83 degrees today….86 degrees tomorrow? Sounds like grillin’ time to me

Cut the veggies into large wedges. Season (salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paparika)to taste and put in the oven covered until done. Simple easy done in a flash.

I recently bought Mama Dip’s Family Cookbook. The author is a 70-something year old black woman who has gained national exposure in recent years. I recommend the cookbook for her mini autobioigraphy alone–very inspirational. The book is full of simple, healthy recipes that don’t require any exotic ingredients. This is the best cookbook that I own, and it has several recipes that would make an awesome Sunday dinner. (One of my personal favorites is the Baked Apples.)
