Why stir polenta forever when this delicious recipe works beautifully? I like to roast veggies (eggplant, zucchini, onion) while the polenta bakes, then when the polenta is done, top with roasted veggies and some chopped tomatoes, some spices, and bake another 20 minutes. It's dinner.

Smoked Sunflower Seeds
The next time you fire up the smoker, plan to save room for these smoked sunflower seeds, a treat you can enjoy long after the ribs are gone. Three ingredients and a little bit of patience are all you need for this recipe. Store them in an airtight container.
Broccoli-Cheddar Frittata
A frittata is an excellent way to sneak veggies into your family's diet, and in this recipe, the veggie is broccoli. Also, thawed, diced hash brown potatoes speed up the cook time and the prep time, too. If you want more color on top of the frittata, shorten the baking time by a couple of minutes, and use the broiler to achieve the color you want. For breakfast or brunch, fresh fruit or baby tomatoes make a great side.
Oxtails with Gravy
This oxtail recipe was my mom's, and it's a soul food blast from the past. I adjust spices to my taste (I love lots of spices). You can double the gravy if you like. My family loves this dish served with rice.
