Frogmore Stew

This Frogmore stew can be adjusted to serve any number. I've used this recipe for over 20 years since I moved to South Carolina. Allow 2 tablespoons of seasoning per quart of water. If you cannot find hot smoked sausage, use another smoked sausage, such as kielbasa, and add crushed hot red pepper to the pot.

Turkey Baby Food

Turkey is a great first meat for babies because it's easy to digest, and the dark meat is high in much-needed iron. Making your own baby food is quite easy, even with turkey! I recommend freezing what you don't use within a day or two — then you'll have little meals at the ready whenever your baby is hungry. Store for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator or freeze for later use.

Basic Corn Muffins

A simple but delicious corn muffin recipe that can easily be dressed up by adding cheese, jalapeños, honey, or anything else.

Ginataang Manok (Chicken Cooked in Coconut Milk)

This ginataang manok is a Filipino chicken dish flavored with ginger and coconut milk. Each family has their own version; this is my mother's. It's a rich dish that makes your kitchen smell so wonderful! Once my family smells the ginger frying and coconut milk simmering, they can't wait for it to be done so they can dig in. I salt it liberally, as the coconut milk tends to hide the salt flavor.

Spinach and Banana Power Smoothie

A vegan banana spinach smoothie that is quick, easy, and surprisingly delicious. I make one of these tasty treats for myself every morning for breakfast, and it powers me all the way until lunch. I love the mild sweetness of the banana, but if you want it sweeter you could add sugar. I've also added different flavors like ginger, cinnamon, apple, or any number of ingredients. Raw vegans can substitute raw almond milk for the soy. Feel free to experiment with different versions, and enjoy the pure energy that comes from eating fresh, good-for-you food!
