I love to make this on New Years Day and on cold winter nights.
Ingredients
  • ½ bag of 16 bean soup mix, rinsed
  • 1 box of Swanson Vegetable Broth
  • ½ can of tomato paste
  • 1 can, undrained, chopped tomatoes
  • 1 large can of collard greens (with juice - I prefer Glory brand)
  • chopped onion, celery, carrots and bell (or poblano) peppers
  • garlic powder, salt & pepper to taste
  • Pasta Sprinkle (or your favorite Italian Seasoning)
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients in your crock pot. Cook on high for 10 hours. If you don't have that much time, pre-soak the bean mix.
  2. Serve with fresh cornbread. I like to make small muffins & sprinkle the tops with a little Slap Ya' Mama Cajun seasoning before baking.

Tip: Peeling a Head of Garlic FAST

Tip: Peeling a Head of Garlic FAST

How to Peel a Head of Garlic in Less Than 10 Seconds from SAVEUR.com on Vimeo.

I had to peel 20 bulbs of garlic for my Christmas cooking this year. I looked up hacks online and tried this one. IT WORKS!!!! Here’s a few tips to make it even easier:

  • Do NOT hit it with your hand. It hurts. Smash it with the bottom of your metal bowl. You might have to hit it twice. Do it in your sink – the garlic cloves will explode EVERYWHERE – at least they’ll all be in your sink (instead of them flying around your kitchen).
  • Only put one head of garlic in the shaker at one time. I tried to do a couple at once to save time…NOT. You need the extra room for the cloves to rattle around to get cleaned off.
  • Stuff will fly everywhere, it will be really LOUD and very satisfying. Shake the dickens out of it. THE DICKENS. He’s serious.
  • If you don’t have these bowls, the cheapest place to get them is a restaurant supply store. I got mine at AceMart in Dallas.

This tip is a GAME CHANGER. Have fun!

This “As Seen on TV” gadget WORKS. I sauteed some cloves of garlic in olive oil and then added the zucchini strands. In a few minutes I had the best non-pasta I’ve ever had. I honestly prefer it to spaghetti. Serve with your favorite sauce. My first attempt at using this is pictured above. This thing is FUN. Now, it’s a cone of knives, so don’t stick your hand in it…and use a fork to twirl the veggies when they get small. It is much easier than the top that comes with it.

Holiday Pea Salad
Author: 
Recipe type: Side Dishes
Cuisine: American
 
This is my own twist on my step-other Sharon's Pea Salad. I still make it every Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Ingredients
  • 2 cans small/early peas (drained)
  • 1 can diced pimentos (drained)
  • 1 medium red onion (chopped)
  • 1 bag of cubed colby jack cheese
  • pepperoncini (or banana pepper) rings
  • Miracle Whip
  • coarse ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Add as many pepperoncini peppers as you like - it will make the mix hotter, so use your judgement. Scoop in Miracle Whip and gently fold in until the mix is moistened throughout. Allow to chill for a few hours before serving.
Notes
This recipe tastes best if made 2-3 days before you serve it. If you don't like the tang of miracle whip, substitute half with mayo. You can also add a small splash of the pepper juice to kick it up a notch. If you like hard boiled eggs, they are a great addition.
