Anna's Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is a recipe my friends' mom gave me and I thought the cookies were excellent!
Irish Soda Bread in a Skillet
A basic version of Irish soda bread that is baked in a cast iron skillet. Try substituting the liquid with buttermilk or 1/2 cup cream plus 1/2 cup sour cream left to sit overnight. Try adding a tablespoon or so of sugar if you like your soda bread slightly sweet. Experiment until you get the flavor you remember.
Instant Pot NOLA Red Beans and Rice
This Instant Pot rice and beans made with pork neck bones has been converted from a family recipe that we've used for 40+ years. Our family had come across it while in New Orleans when I was a little girl. From what I remember, red beans and rice were always made at home on Mondays using leftover pork bones from the weekend meals. It's deliciously flavorful and can be made as spicy as you'd like. I hope you love it as much as my own family does.
