Sometimes, even Ms Recipe has a hard time creating side dishes. Kidney bean salad is one of those side dishes that is not only inexpensive, but can be used as a entree for vegetarians. I like to make this side dish with a yummy tuna salad sandwich.
Preparation time: 5-10 minutes
Cooking time: None

Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained
2 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
½ large yellow onion, diced
10 pickles or 2 tablespoons pickle relish (dill or sweet), chopped
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
½ teaspoon seasoned salt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or miracle whip
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well.
Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
Tips:
#1 Substitute black beans for kidney beans.

Get out your dancing shoes and boogie on out with this soup. It’s a little bit of 70′s and a lot of 80′s to bring a modern twist to the Reuben sandwich.

The name says it all with this chicken. You put it in your mouth and you have an explosion of flavors. This chicken is not for someone who does not like some heat in his or her food.

As Promised here is my recipe for hobo stew. I hope it fills your families bellies as it has my family from one generation to the next.This recipe was originally created by my grandfather which I have added my own twist to the recipe. You know us cooks love to play mad scientists in the kitchen. While my Grandfather worked on the railroad he would cook this recipe by campfire. Its a recipe they all learned to love and he was known for this recipe.

Well tonight’s recipe was my version of my  Grandfather’s  Hobo stew and it almost turned in to another disaster. I had to use minced onions because I ran out of onions. Well the minced onions had a mind of their own. The lid came flying off the bottle and well their went all my minced onion. AGHH! I thought to myself what shall I do, well it turned out alright thankfully. So what can I say Ms Recipe sure does keep making mistakes. I’m beginning to think that the kitchen fumes are getting to me. So I share with all my readers who are learning to cook even a seasoned cook can make recipe mistakes in her kitchen…. SO Happy COOKING to you all.
