Delicious Garlic Butter Herb Rolls are easy to prepare (using canned biscuit dough!), and are a perfect accompaniment for your favorite meal!

If you’re looking for a totally EASY recipe for a dinner roll or bread to serve with a favorite soup, salad or main dish, then you’ve got to try these garlic butter herb rolls!

Because they’re made using canned jumbo biscuits as the base, there is hardly any prep work involved. That’s a wonderfully quick way to get these yummy rolls on the table!

The biscuit dough is halved, rolled into balls, then covered in a simple garlic butter herb sauce, and baked. That’s it, and I think you will love them because they have great flavor! Here’s how simple they are to make.

Make The Dough Balls

Preheat your oven to 375°F. before shaping the rolls, because you will want the oven hot and ready to go when you’re finished, to save time. Lightly grease a 10″ cast iron skillet or a large square baking dish and set aside.

Remove the biscuit dough from the package and place the dough onto parchment paper or wax paper. Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to cut each of the biscuits in half. You will have 16 biscuit dough halves at this point.

Using your hands, roll each piece between your palms into a ball, pinching the dough together to close any seams. Once done, let the dough balls rest on the paper while you mix the garlic butter herb sauce.

Eight canned jumbo biscuits are cut in half.Each biscuit dough half is shaped into a ball.

Make The Garlic Butter Herb Sauce

To make the garlic butter herb sauce, combine melted butter, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, parsley and oregano in a small bowl. It will be a slightly thick sauce once it’s fully mixed.

Melted butter, garlic, oregano, parsley and Parmesan are combined in bowl.The butter herb sauce is combined and ready to top the rolls.

Dipping The Dough Balls

Dip each of the dough balls, one at a time, in the garlic butter herb sauce. I find it helpful to use a spoon to turn the dough balls over so all sides get coated with the sauce.

As you finish coating each dough ball, place it into the prepared skillet OR baking dish. Repeat this process until all the dough balls are coated in sauce.

TIP: Make sure to leave a small space between each of the rolls in the skillet or baking dish, so they have some “personal space” to rise and spread as they bake!

Each dough ball is immersed and covered with the butter herb sauce.Butter and herb covered dough balls are placed in skillet OR baking dish.

Time To Bake The Rolls!

Now it’s time to bake these little cuties! Bake the garlic butter herb rolls at 375°F (or 190° C.) for 18-20 minutes. They’re done when the tops of the rolls are wonderfully golden brown.

Remove the garlic butter herb rolls from the oven. There’s usually some seasoned, melted butter that ends up on the bottom of the skillet or baking dish.

Use a pastry brush to brush the seasoned butter from the skillet or baking dish onto the tops of the finished rolls while they’re still hot.

Sixteen butter and herb covered rolls are placed in a cast iron skillet.After baking, the garlic butter herb rolls are golden brown on top.

Serve The Garlic Butter Herb Rolls

Serve the garlic butter herb rolls right out of the skillet or baking dish while they’re HOT. Each of these tasty dinner rolls can be pulled apart from each other, to enjoy!

We enjoyed them (this time) served with a delicious main dish of Salmon in Spinach Cream Sauce, and they paired perfectly with this meal. YUM!

The rolls are beautiful to look at, they taste WONDERFUL, and it “might” appear like it took a lot of work to make them! You can see how simple these dinner rolls actually were to make, though, so that can be your little secret (wink, wink).

The garlic butter herb rolls are ready to be pulled apart and eaten.One of the garlic butter herb rolls on a white plate, with salmon in background.

I really hope you have the opportunity to make these delicious garlic butter herb rolls, and trust you’ll enjoy them as much as we do!

Spiced Yellow Rice is an easy to make, yummy side dish! White rice is cooked with onions and a few spices, which add great color and flavor!

If you’re on the hunt for a new side dish that doesn’t take a lot of work but tastes great, check out this one! Spiced yellow rice gets it beautiful color from turmeric, a wonderful spice, that lends color AND wonderful flavor to the dish.

The recipe requires white long grain rice, chopped onion, water, a few spices, and a tiny amount of hot sauce That’s it! There’s only a few minutes of prep, then the rice cooks for about 20 minutes, and it’s ready to serve!

The spiced yellow rice is not too spicy, in my opinion, but has nice flavor with only a very small bit of heat. It’s delicious, and pairs well with most meats.

The original recipe is from one of my old “Cooking Light” cookbooks I’ve owned for almost 30 years. Here’s how to make spiced yellow rice.

How To Make Spiced Yellow Rice

Generously spray a non-stick large skillet with non-stick baking spray. Turn the heat to Medium-High, and heat until the skillet is hot.

Add chopped onions (1¼ cups), and cook them, stirring occasionally, until they soften and become slightly translucent in color.

Now add the uncooked long grain white rice to the skillet, and stir to combine.

Chopped onions are cooked until tender in large skillet.Uncooked long grain white rice is added to the onions in skillet.

Pour 2 cups of water over the rice, then add ground turmeric, garlic powder, Tabasco sauce, salt, pepper, and one dried bay leaf.

Stir to combine these ingredients. You will notice the water instantly change colors, with the addition of the turmeric. Cool, right?

Continue to cook the spiced yellow rice on Medium-high heat until the mixture begins to boil.

Water, hot sauce and spices are added to the onions and rice in skillet.Spiced yellow rice is brought to a boil in the skillet.

Cooking The Rice

As soon as the liquid comes to a boil, reduce the heat to LOW. Put a lid on the skillet and continue to simmer the rice. 

TIP: After 15 minutes, check on the rice to make sure it has not absorbed the water too quickly (LOW temp. can vary slightly on different stove tops). 

If you find the rice has absorbed the water, and is beginning to stick to the skillet, then add a bit more water (approx. ¼ cup). Stir in the water, re-cover the skillet, and continue cooking.

When done, the spiced yellow rice should be fluffy and tender, and all liquid should be fully absorbed.

The rice is cooked, with a lid on the skillet.

Remove the skillet from the heat source. Locate and remove the bay leaf from the rice (discard). Use a fork to fluff the rice, before serving.

Spiced yellow rice is done cooking, and liquid is absorbed.

Serve The Spiced Yellow Rice

Transfer the spiced yellow rice to a serving bowl, and serve immediately, while hot! If desired, garnish the rice with a few sprigs of fresh parsley, for another pop of color (optional). This simple side dish pairs well with most meat entrees.

Store any leftover rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. It reheats nicely in a microwave, but may need a bit of fluffing with a fork, once it’s been refrigerated.

Spiced yellow rice is served, garnished with parsley, in a white bowl.Salmon, broccoli, and spiced yellow rice, served on a white plate.

I hope you have the opportunity to make and enjoy spiced yellow rice, and trust you’ll enjoy it as much as we do. It’s really quite delicious!

Pan-Seared Green Beans and Bacon

Pan-Seared Green Beans and Bacon is a simple, fresh veggie side dish you'll enjoy! Green beans are seasoned with garlic, onion, and BACON!

Bacon seems to make everything better, right? In this simple, delicious recipe, fresh green beans are enhanced by the addition of crisp bacon pieces. YUM.

Everything is cooked in one skillet for convenience and easy cleanup, so this is a “win-win” recipe. Fresh green beans are pan-seared until they blister and brown slightly, before adding 2-3 more ingredients.

All in all, this recipe is easy to make, and I’m confident you will enjoy it, paired with a favorite meat main dish. Here’s how to make this veggie side dish.

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Prepare The Green Beans For Cooking

I enjoy making this recipe using fresh green beans from our garden in the summer. When my garden is not in season, I buy them fresh at our grocery store, year-round.

Trim or snap off the stem ends of each of the green beans (and discard). Set the green beans aside while you cook the bacon.

Fresh green beans will need stem ends trimmed off before cooking.

Cook The Bacon, Onion And Garlic

Cut 3 slices of bacon into small pieces. I stack the slices on top of each other, then use kitchen shears to cut the bacon into small pieces. Cooking the bacon into small pieces is a timesaver, because it will cook faster.

Cook the bacon in a non-stick pan on medium heat until it is mostly cooked through. DO NOT let it get crispy at this point.

Add chopped onions to the bacon, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring often until the onions become tender. Stir in minced garlic, and cook 1 more minute, stirring often so the garlic doesn’t burn.

Small pieces of bacon are cooked until mostly done in large skillet.Chopped onions and minced garlic are added to the cooked bacon in skillet.

At this point, the bacon will be fairly crispy, and the onions should be fully cooked. Transfer this mixture out of the skillet onto a plate, and cover. Do NOT wipe out the skillet.

Bacon, onions and garlic, fully cooked, are transferred out of the skillet.

Pan-Sear The Green Beans

Add the green beans to the skillet without wiping out the bacon drippings left in the skillet. They will cook in any leftover bacon drippings, which adds flavor.

Pan-sear the green beans on Medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 7-8 minutes. The beans will slowly blister and brown on the outside while they cook.

Fresh green beans are pan-seared in bacon drippings left in skillet.As they cook, the green beans will blister and brown on the outside.

Time To Add the BACON!

 Add the bacon, onion and garlic mixture back into the skillet, and stir to combine. Taste a green bean, then season the beans to taste with salt and pepper, if desired.

Cook, stirring often, until the beans and bacon are heated through (about a minute). The pan-seared green beans and bacon are ready to serve, once they’re fully heated through.

Bacon, onion and garlic mixture is added back into the skillet of green beans.After heating them though, pan-seared green beans and bacon are ready to serve.

Serve The Pan-Seared Green Beans And Bacon

Transfer the pan-seared green beans and bacon from the skillet to a serving bowl, and serve immediately, while hot.

The recipe will yield enough green beans for three servings (four, if smaller portions are desired). Serve with a favorite main dish, and enjoy!

I hope you have the chance to make pan-seared green beans and bacon. We really enjoy them, and trust you will, too. You can easily double or triple this recipe to suit your needs.

Roasted Curry Sweet Potatoes are a delicious and EASY side dish! Full of flavor from a simple spice mix, this recipe will yield 3-4 servings.

Do you like eating sweet potatoes? As an adult, I have come to LOVE them, but really did not like them as a kid, and avoided them like the plague.

My grandmother, who in her later life lived with us for several months each year, ate a sweet potato every single day. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Frankly, as a kid I didn’t understand her unrequited love of this orange colored vegetable. I mean… it’s just a potato, right?

Now, as a sensible older woman with a much broader flavor palette, I love them too! It must be hereditary, right? Ha Ha.

Behold The Humble Sweet Potato

There’s a lot to love about this filling, nutritious veggie I didn’t appreciate back then. Sweet potatoes are sweet “root” vegetables that are packed with Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and other minerals. They’re also a wonderful source of fiber, which is good for the ol’ gut.

They have some antioxidant properties, which is another reason they are “good for you”. The orange color of sweet potatoes is produced by beta carotene, which we know is good for our overall eye health.

Besides all of this… SWEET POTATOES ARE DELICIOUS! Here’s how to make this simple recipe for roasted curry sweet potatoes. They have great taste and color, and are a cinch to make. 

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Prepare The Sweet Potatoes For Roasting

You will need about half a pound of sweet potatoes for this recipe. This typically is the equivalent of 2 medium to large sized sweet potatoes.

Use a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife to remove the peel from the sweet potatoes. Discard the peels.

The outer peel is removed from a medium to large sweet potato before slicing.

Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise first, then slice each half cross-wise into 1″ slices that resemble half circles (on left side of first photo below).

Now cut each of those slices in half (on right side of first photo below). Continue slicing until both sweet potatoes are cut, and each piece is wedge shaped (bottom photo below). Set aside.

Two peeled sweet potatoes are cut in half, then sliced into pieces.Sweet potatoes are sliced into quarter-sized wedges before baking.

Make The Spice Mix

Place salt, curry powder, ground black pepper and onion powder in a small bowl. Stir to combine these spices.

See? Just like that you have an easy seasoning mix you will use to season the sweet potatoes!

Curry powder, salt, onion powder and black pepper are combined in a bowl.

Season The Sweet Potato Wedges

Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick spray, then add the sweet potato wedges onto the pan in a single layer.

Lightly spray the sweet potatoes with additional baking spray (helps the spice mix to adhere). Sprinkle the sweet potatoes with the spice mix, dividing it evenly over the potatoes.

Sweet potato slices on pan are sprinkled with spice mix before baking.

Ready For The Oven

Once the sweet potatoes have been seasoned, they are ready for the oven. Place the pan on the oven’s middle rack.

Bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes. The time may vary a bit as oven temps can fluctuate. I usually check the roasted curry sweet potatoes for doneness after 20 minutes.

When fully done, the outside should be slightly browned, and the inside should be soft. A butter knife can be easily inserted into the middle of a piece of sweet potato without resistance.

Serve The Roasted Curry Sweet Potatoes

Transfer the hot, roasted curry sweet potatoes from the pan to a wire rack with a spatula. Let them cool for about one minute before serving.

These delicious sweet potatoes can be served alongside a favorite meat, and will be a delicious side dish. The recipe will yield enough for 3 moderate portions or 4 small portions.

The roasted sweet potatoes are cooled slightly on a wire rack before serving.

The roasted curry sweet potatoes also taste fantastic in Kale and Sweet Potato Salad, because they add such great flavor to the dish.

I hope you enjoy this delicious side dish as much as we do. The smell in the kitchen while the roasted curry sweet potatoes cook is also really terrific!

These ingredients combine wonderfully, and create a simply fantastic tasting rice side dish! Here’s how to make cranberry pecan curried rice:

Cook The Rice

Bring chicken broth and butter to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add rice to the broth, and stir to combine these ingredients. Now bring the liquid in the pan back to a boil again. 

 Once boiling, turn the heat down to a low simmer, and cover the pan. Let the rice cook (covered) without disturbing it, for about 20 minutes. When done, remove the pan from the heat.

Chicken broth is heated with butter until the butter melts.Rice is added to the butter and broth mixture and cooked for 20 minutes.

While The Rice Cooks…

Use the time the rice is cooking to finish the rest of the recipe. Measure oil into a large (separate) saucepan, and heat it on Medium.

Once hot, add chopped onions, and stir to combine. Cook the onions, stirring often, for 5-6 minutes. When done, the onions should be tender, translucent, and very lightly browned.

Stir chopped pecans and minced garlic into the onion mixture, and let them cook for 2 more minutes on medium heat. Stir this often, so you don’t burn the garlic!

Chopped onion is cooked in hot oil in a large saucepan for about 5 minutes.Minced garlic and chopped pecans are added to the cooked onion in the pan.

Now For The Spices…

Stir curry powder, ground ginger, salt and black pepper into the onion and pecan mixture in the pan. It smells fantastic right at this point, when those aromatic spices hit the hot pan.

Curry powder, ground ginger, salt and pepper are added to the onion and pecan mixture.

The rice should be finished cooking right around this time. Once done, remove the pan from the heat, use a fork to fluff the rice, then add the hot rice to the saucepan with the onion mixture.

Stir everything together, until the spices and other ingredients are well combined with the hot rice. Now you’re ready for the final step!

Once fully cooked, the pan of rice is fluffed using a fork.Cooked rice and water are added to the saucepan, and combined with the onion mixture.

Final Step

The last step is to add dried cranberries and chopped, fresh parsley into the hot spiced rice! This gives the rice a pop of color, too.

Give the rice a good stir until everything is combined. Now this yummy cranberry pecan curried rice is hot, and ready to be served and enjoyed.

Dried cranberries and chopped parsley are added to the rice and stirred to combine.

Serve The Cranberry Pecan Curried Rice

Transfer the cranberry pecan curried rice onto a serving plate or into a serving bowl. Garnish the top with sprigs of fresh parsley, if desired, and serve!

The rice has WONDERFUL flavor, thanks to the warming spices of curry powder and ground ginger. When I made this dish the first time, I couldn’t stay out of it, because it is SO GOOD!

Every bite of the cranberry pecan curried rice is packed with warm flavors, and I think you’ll love it! The rice pairs well with many different meat dishes.

We enjoy it with shrimp kabobs, but it’s a great accompaniment for chicken, beef, pork and other seafood dishes, as well. It is so versatile, and is really quite simple to prepare.

I’m confident you, your family members and other dinner guests will really enjoy this dish! The recipe can be doubled or tripled to suit your needs, too!

Cranberry pecan curried rice can be a simple weeknight side dish, or you can go all out and serve it for holidays like Christmas or Thanksgiving! YUM!

Bacon Apple Cheddar Scones

Bacon Apple Cheddar Scones are delicious! Recipe makes 8 buttery, savory scones, filled with diced apples, cheddar cheese and crisp bacon!
Bacon Apple Cheddar Scones are delicious! Recipe makes 8 buttery, savory scones, filled with diced apples, cheddar cheese and crisp bacon!

Today I would like to share this recipe for Bacon Apple Cheddar Scones with you. Many years ago I found a recipe in a magazine for apple cheese scones, and thought they sounded pretty tasty. I made a few changes to the original recipe and also added cooked, crispy bacon! YUM!

These savory scones are not sweet like a typical scone, but they sure have great flavor! We love to serve them as a side dish for a big pot of chili or soup, or with a large mixed green salad.

We know that apples and cheese compliment each other, but when you add crisp bacon to the party… wow! These soft, buttery scones are a wonderful addition to any meal.

My husband and I think these scones are the best when served warm, with some soft butter spread on them. Here’s how to make these yummy scones.

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Let’s Make Some Scones!

The scones come together fairly quickly, so preheat your oven to 450°F. before beginning. By the time you have cut out the scones, your oven should be ready to go!

Place flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium sized bowl, and stir or whisk to combine these ingredients. Add small chunks of COLD butter.

Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender (as shown) or two forks. Do this until the butter has been reduced to the size of peas.

Stir buttermilk into the mixture, but only until all the dough is moistened. Do not overmix the dough, because that can lead to dense (heavy) scones.

Cold butter is cut into the dry scone ingredients using a pastry blender.Buttermilk is stirred into the bowl of scone batter until just combined.

Add The “Good Stuff”

Now add grated cheddar cheese, precooked, chopped crispy bacon, and pealed/chopped apples to the dough batter. Stir these into the batter until fully incorporated.

The scone dough will be a fairly “wet” and chunky dough at this point. Now it’s time to roll out the dough and cut the scones for baking.

Grated cheese, bacon, and diced apples are stirred into the scone batter.

Knead, Shape, And Cut The Dough

It’s time to get that scone dough into shape. Generously spread a work surface with flour. Because this is a sticky dough, do not skip this step!

Pour the dough onto the floured surface. Sprinkle the dough with additional flour, then coat your hands with flour, too. Keep the flour handy, because you will more than likely need to sprinkle it on the dough as you knead it.

Knead the dough about 8-10 times with your well-floured hands, adding more flour if necessary, until it comes together in a ball. The dough should not be sticky and wet at this point.

Dusted with flour, the scone dough is ready to be kneaded, then shaped.

Shape the dough into a 9″ wide circle with your hands. Use a very sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the scone dough into eight pie-shaped wedges.

Scone dough is shaped into a 9" circle, and cut into eight wedges.

Time To Bake The Scones

Place the scones on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. NOTE: If you do not have parchment paper, grease the baking sheet with non stick cooking spray.

Place the scone wedges in a circle on the parchment paper (or greased baking sheet), leaving about an inch between each slice, as pictured below.

Bake at 450°F. on a middle rack in the oven for 13-15 minutes. When done, the bacon apple cheddar scones should be golden brown on top.

TIP: Because oven temps can vary quite a bit, check them after 13 minutes, then continue cooking until done. A toothpick inserted into the middle of a scone should come out clean.

Serve the Bacon Apple Cheddar Scones

Transfer the scones to a wire rack and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. We think they taste best when served warm, and not hot! 

Serve these delicious bacon apple cheddar scones alongside any meal you would normally serve bread or rolls with. They pair well with meats, and are wonderful with soups or stews.

I really am confident you’ll enjoy these delicious scones. I think you’ll be surprised how good they are! Thanks for stopping by, and I invite you to come back soon for more family-friendly recipes.

Roasted Brussel Sprouts For Two

It’s simple to make Roasted Brussel Sprouts For Two! This delicious, baked vegetable side dish only requires a few common ingredients.It's simple to make Roasted Brussel Sprouts For Two! This delicious, baked vegetable side dish only requires a few common ingredients.

Have you ever roasted Brussel sprouts in the oven? They turn out DELICIOUS! After roasting, they look a bit “charred” and crispy looking on the outside, but are soft and tender on the inside!

The recipe I am sharing today is ideal for two servings, but can EASILY be doubled, tripled, or multiplied into the quantity you need.

TIP: You can enter the # of servings you need into the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page (in the box by SERVINGS). The software will then re-calculate the quantity of ingredients you will need.

I think you’ll be surprised at how really EASY it is to make delicious, roasted Brussel sprouts for two people. Here’s how to make them!

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Prepare The Brussel Sprouts

Preheat your oven to 425°F. For this recipe as written (for two servings), you will need about ¾ pound of fresh Brussel spouts. Typically this will be about 10-12 whole Brussel sprouts, depending on their size.

Trim off the stem ends (seen in the 2nd photo below). Some of the small outer leaves may fall off, but don’t worry! That is to be expected.

Once the stem end has been trimmed off, slice each Brussel sprout in half length-wise. Discard the stem and any of the outer leaves that have fallen off.

Brussel sprouts are sliced lengthwise before seasoning.The stems are trimmed off of the Brussel sprouts before seasoning and slicing.

Place the Brussel sprout halves in a medium sized bowl. Drizzle 1½ Tablespoons of olive oil over them, and gently toss, to coat them with the oil.

Olive oil is drizzled over the Brussel sprout halves in a mixing bowl.

A Little Seasoning

Once coated with the olive oil, sprinkle the Brussel sprouts with salt, pepper, garlic powder and a bit of onion powder. Stir gently, to evenly distribute the seasoning over the veggies.

Seasonings are added to the oil-tossed Brussel sprouts before baking.

Bake The Brussel Sprouts

Place the seasoned Brussel sprouts, cut side down, on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. This will also help to create less mess to clean up!

However, if you don’t have access to parchment paper, place the Brussel sprouts directly on a baking sheet, leaving a small space between each one.

NOTE: I don’t recommended using a silpat or a silicon mat, because you want the charring that occurs on the sprouts when in contact with parchment paper or a metal baking sheet.

Seasoned Brussel sprout halves are roasted, cut side down on parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake the Brussel sprouts at 425°F. for 23-25 minutes. When done, the Brussel sprouts will be slightly “charred” and crispy on the outside, but very tender on the inside!

After roasting, the Brussel sprouts are charred on the outside and tender inside.Crispy, charred outer leaves cover the green, tender roasted Brussel sprouts.

Serve The Roasted Brussel Sprouts For Two

Use a spatula to transfer the roasted Brussel sprouts for two onto a platter or individual serving plates. See how browned they are?

We enjoy them this way, but if you prefer them less browned on the outside, simply peel off the outer leaf before serving or remove from the oven a bit early.

The flavor is quite nice as well, thanks to the simple seasoning on them. They may look browned on the outside, but they cut easily, because they’re quite soft inside.

This Brussel sprout side dish can be served with a variety of main dish meats. We enjoyed them (this time), served alongside pork chops and sweet potatoes. YUM!

Southwest-Style Blackeyed Peas

Southwest-Style Blackeyed Peas are a delicious side dish! Blackeyed peas are cooked with bacon, onions, green chiles, and Mexican spices.
Southwest-Style Blackeyed Peas are a delicious side dish! Blackeyed peas are cooked with bacon, onions, green chiles, and Mexican spices.

Do you like blackeye peas? I’m not referring to the MUSIC BAND, but the VEGETABLE! I grew up eating them fairly often, because my parents really enjoyed them. We’ve always called them blackeyed peas (rather than blackeye peas-without the D at the end), so that’s what I’ll call them in this post. Tradition!

My mom bought cans of blackeyed peas, heated them, added salt and pepper, and that was it (my Dad added hot pepper sauce)! Blackeyed peas may be purchased CANNED, DRIED (soaked overnight to soften), or FROZEN (then thawed).

This recipe I came up with uses FROZEN (and thawed) blackeyed peas. We keep bags of veggies in our deep freezer, so we usually have a bag or two on hand. I added other ingredients to add a Southwest-type flavor, and created this veggie dish.

When you combine tender blackeyed peas with spices, onion, BACON and garlic, how can you go wrong? Here’s how to make Southwest-Style Blackeyed Peas, a tasty little side dish: 

Scroll Down for A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Why I Use Frozen Blackeyed Peas For This Recipe

I use frozen blackeyed peas in this recipe, because truthfully, it’s convenient. When dried peas are used, it can take all night long soaking in water to get them to soften.

Canned and drained blackeyed peas seem to get a bit too mushy when cooked in the flavorful broth. So frozen (and thawed) is convenient, and what I prefer to use!

A bag of frozen blackeyed peas is what is used for this recipe.

Cook The Blackeyed Peas

After thawing the blackeyed peas, cook them according to the instructions on the bag. Typically they need to be cooked about 40 minutes or so, until they become tender.

Once they’re fully cooked and tender to the bite, drain the blackeyed peas. Set them aside until later, while you prepare the rest of the dish.

Blackeyed peas are cooked in boiling water according to package directions.

Let’s Add Some Flavor!

Cut 3 slices of bacon in small pieces and place them in a large non-stick skillet. Add chopped onion, and cook on Medium heat for 3-5 minutes, until the onions are tender, and the bacon is fully cooked (but not crispy).

Leave any grease the bacon produces in the skillet. Stir in minced garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds, stirring often so the garlic doesn’t burn.

Add salt, pepper, ground cumin and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Stir to incorporate the spices with the bacon, onion and garlic.

Add More Flavor!

Now it’s time to add the drained, tender blackeyed peas to the skillet. Dump them in, and give them a good stir to combine them with the other ingredients.

Add diced green chilis and chicken broth to the blackeyed peas and stir again, until well combined in the skillet. The added broth acts as a conduit to get all the flavor of the spices infused into the peas.

Cooked blackeyed peas are stirred into bacon and onion mixture in the skillet.Shicken broth and diced green chiles are added to the blackeyed peas.

Simmer Until Broth Is Absorbed

Bring the liquid to a boil, then turn the heat to a low simmer. Let the Southern-Style Blackeyed Peas cook on Low for 8-10 minutes (uncovered), OR until almost all the broth has been absorbed.

Southwest-Style Blackeyed Peas are cooked on Low heat until broth is absorbed.

Serve The Southwest-Style Blackeyed Peas

Remove the skillet from the heat source, and stir chopped cilantro into the blackeyed peas. If desired, garnish the dish with more cilantro for serving.

Serve this veggie side dish straight from the skillet, if desired, OR transfer to a medium sized serving bowl. Serve immediately while hot… and enjoy!

If you’re like me, you’re probably constantly on the lookout for a new recipe or two that are easy to make and taste great. Simple, right?

Well, this recipe for Asian-Inspired Couscous fits that bill. It is VERY simple to make, and has wonderful flavor. Green onions, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a smidge of cayenne pepper give this versatile couscous side dish it’s great taste.

Couscous is a fairly bland variety of pasta made with semolina flour, but it absorbs flavors very well. It is low in fat, but also contains more protein, minerals and vitamins than white rice.

Because couscous absorbs flavors well, it’s perfect used in this recipe, because it takes on Asian-inspired flavors from the spices, soy sauce and green onions. Here’s how to make this side dish.
