This pigs feet recipe has been passed down over time in my family. These delicious "trotters" are a relatively inexpensive African-American dish we made every New Year's Eve to ring in the new year. They're even better the next day, and they freeze well. Sprinkle them with a little more vinegar or hot sauce to taste and serve with homemade potato salad, Southern-style greens, candied yams, and cornbread.

Michigan Hot Dog
This regional specialty has a unique sauce which is typically slightly chunkier and thicker than most hot dog sauces. You'll often find this served on top-split buns, but regular hot dog buns will work. There are many versions of this sauce, but this is the way we like ours.
Easy Cucumber Salad
This is a perfect side dish for your summer barbecue or any Mediterranean or Middle Eastern dish. You can also substitute 2 large tomatoes for the cucumber for a delicious tomato salad.
