I love dumplings and have come up with this recipe using all ingredients that I like. The dumplings consist of pork, shrimp, watercress, water chestnuts, and assorted seasonings, and they are absolutely delicious!

This is a smooth creamy soup. Great for those cold winter days.

This jalapeno-based sauce is a staple of the Columbian dinner table and will delight hot-sauce lovers in any country.

This nicely spiced venison breakfast sausage is a snap to prepare!

This spicy, marinated broiled chicken dish is the same as that of a well-known restaurant chain’s Tequila Lime Chicken. Enjoy! Serve with rice and pico de gallo salsa, if desired.

Shrimp, onions, celery and mushrooms, seasoned with paprika, garlic and crushed red pepper. Great over steamed rice.

A no-cook peanut butter confection, using just 4 ingredients, that kids can play with and eat!

After trying a few recipes I developed my own version. I think it’s the best!

Black beans are soaked overnight then simmered with a smoked ham bone and vegetables and flavored with a hint of sherry.

Thin, thin cucumbers are doused with sugar, water, vinegar, celery seed and onion, and chilled for an hour or so. Great as a salad or as open face sandwiches on pumpernickel bread.
