• small roast
• 2 onions
• 1-2 bell peppers
• 1/2 C. flour
• 3 Tbs cooking oil
• 1/4 C. corn starch

Heat your oil in a skillet. Coat roast with flour and brown in skillet. Cut your onions and peppers in bite size pieces and put in crock pot along with browned roast. add enough water to fully cover all, I usually just fill to top. Cook on high for several hours until meat is tender. Remove roast and cut off fat and shred meat, set aside. Put the corn starch in a sifter and sift over the remaining liquid, stirring. Continue stirring until well dissolved and starting to thicken. Then add the shredded meat and turn to low until ready to serve. We serve this over either boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes or cooked rice.

In a large skillet brown meant and onions and peppers. Then add all ingredients to a very large crockpot or electric roaster. Season according to your preference,  we use lots of chili powder and cajun seasoning. Cook on low about 4-6 hours, or until the aroma makes your stomach growl. Serve with a topping of fresh diced tomatoes, fresh diced onions, shredded cheese and sour cream. Also great to have cornbread muffins on the side.

Cut the ends off the okra and cut the okra into thick slices or chunks about 1 inch thick. Add to beaten egg in mixing bowl. Mix well. Then add Cajun spice and corn meal mix. stir well until evenly coated. Heat a skillet to med hot and add oil, then add okra, let cook for a minute or two then turn with spatula.

you will need

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 diced bell pepper
• 1 diced onion
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 2 Cups uncooked oatmeal, we use thick sliced non- instant
• 1 T Cajun seasoning
• 1 large 1 lb can tomatoes sauce

Add everything except the tomato sauce to a large mixing bowl and get your hands in it and mix well. Then put it all in a baking dish and pat down smooth like a loaf. pour the tomato sauce on top and bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes. It will be done when bubbly and you can insert a knife into center and it comes out clean like when you test a cake, leaving a slice in the top. We like to serve ours as sandwiches, but it is also great alongside cooked pasta.

This will make one serving, so multiply accordingly.

• 1 cup water
• 1 dash of salt
• 1/4 cup yellow corn grits (Bob’s Red Mill is my fav)

In a small sauce pan add water and salt, heat till boiling. Add grits and lower heat to med, stir continually for one minute, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for three minutes then serve. I just like butter (homemade of course) and salt on mine, but it is also great with any of the following.

• cheese
• crumbled bacon
• sugar
• milk

Grits are a wonderful and filling snack or breakfast.
