Green & White Chili
With cumin for confidence, oregano for luck, and a green pepper flake blend for a spicy good time.
Old Timey Buttermilk Pie
This one’s fool proof. Let me know if you still manage to muss it. Sprinkle in some nutmeg to keep your enemies at bay.
The Best Creamy Cheesy Grits
Top these with whatever you want. I used shrimp and bacon here. Also corn and scallions. Scallions can be used to get rid of unwanted houseguests.
Restaurant Style Black Beans
Don’t throw away the skins of your onions. Burn them to bring in prosperity.
I used to hate beans. I even got grounded once for not eating my grandma’s 7-bean stew. Then I worked in restaurants through high school and college and learned how to make beans that I love, like these.
Green Enchiladas
Green chili was traditionally used in counter magic, protection rituals, and to drive out evil spirits.
This recipe is super versatile. Use whatever protein, sauce, cheese, and toppings you want!
Chorizo and Grits Bowl
Heavy paprika in the chorizo makes someone want to call you.
Sometimes you see what’s on hand and go with it. This Southern meets Tex Mex meal was inspired by chorizo and then grits and black beans from the pantry.
Baked Potato Salad
Salt to absorb negative energy. Black pepper to ward off evil. Can be served chilled or warm. A healthier version of those deep fried potato skins we grew up on.
Quick Apple Chutney
Five spice powder to invite good fortune. This lovely topper goes great on most proteins and even ice cream!
Egg on Frico
Chili powder to promote fidelity. Easy and wildly delicious. Great for breakfast, brunch, or brinner!
Easy Pork Roast
Using rosemary & garlic to ward off bad vibes this is an affordable and easy family-feeding recipe using a decent sized pork roast and simple ingredients.
