My love of cooking started when I was trying to earn my Girl Scout cooking badge. My family savors the sweet sauce on these skewers. --Joanne Haldeman, Bainbridge, Pennsylvania
Tender chicken in a tangy sauce, topped with pretty pineapple, makes a mouthwatering main dish. The recipe comes from Jean Ecos of Waukesha, Wisconsin.
Substitute chicken for pork in this dish, if you prefer. Pink beans are similar to pinto beans, but smaller; if you can't find pink beans, substitute pintos. Add cheddar corn bread and orange slices to round out the meal.
Tiny yellow or red-fleshed potatoes are boiled until tender, smushed a little bit, then drizzled with an herb-infused oil and balsamic vinegar seasoning. The potatoes then get a trip through a hot oven to crisp up.
Combine browned ground beef, tomatoes and kidney beans in a slow cooker in this chili seasoned with chili powder, cumin, basil and Worcestershire sauce.
Kidney beans, baked beans and butter beans are combined with ground beef, bacon and onion in this hearty meal. You can also put the ingredients into a slow cooker and cook for about 8 hours on low.
