Stewed Okra with Tomatoes
Stewed okra and tomatoes makes a great side dish. Two types of canned tomatoes give the dish texture, while garlic and cayenne pepper make each bite explode with flavor. Serve over rice.
Traditional Irish Stew
Irish stew is more commonly made with lamb in Ireland. It's easy to prep and then let it cook slowly until the meat and vegetables are fall-apart tender and the broth is full of flavor. Every Irish household has its own recipe for this comforting dish and this is my mom's. It's perfect on a cold day or on St. Patrick's Day served with a pint of Guinness, of course!

My husband grew up in West Africa where peanut butter stew was popular, so he started wondering if peanut butter would go with eggs. The result was this recipe. It was a hit!
