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.

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.
