This chocolate sauce is from a friend of mine from many years ago. I knew N.D. in B.G, OH. lol This recipe is one that has been handed down in her family for years. She shared this in Dreaming: An Almanac of Lesbian Lore and Vision (volume 2)

Lois' Sauce

1 C sugar
1 1/2 TBS Cocoa
Pinch Salt
1 TBS Butter
2 TBS Karo
1/2 C Milk
Dash Vanilla

In a saucepan, combine all ingredients except vanilla. Cook over medium heat. Let boil 3 to 4 minutes. Add vanilla and cool.

This stuff is addictive and beats the pants off other chocolate sauces I've tried. mmmm

Here's a recipe for Red Beans&Rice. This is a very traditional dish in Louisiana. It was usually made on Mondays because that was wash day. You could put on a big pot of beans in the morning and not have to worry about supper!

Mama Mann's Red Beans & Rice

1 large bag dry red beans
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground sausage (Mama likes sage sausage)
1/2 C chopped onion
1/2 C Cajun seasoning (Mama recommends Tony Chachere's(tm) Cajun Seasoning)
1 large Can Tomato Paste
1 C Ketchup (more or less to taste)

For best results, use dry beans. (If not available, canned beans can be used--drain them but don't rinse them--and Mama says 'ask yourself WHY you don't have dry beans in your pantry!') Soak the beans for at least three hours--best if overnight. Some will float to the top--discard those immediately. Drain, rinse and put in a large soup pan. Add just enough water to cover completely and cook over low heat until done. Check periodically to ensure beans remain covered. Beans will be soft but not mushy. When cooked, take 1/2 of them out and smash them to use as a thickener. Put back in the pan. Cook beef and sausage together, add onions and cook until meat is done and onions are clear. Drain and pour into pot with beans. Add your seasonings, tomato paste and ketchup. Stir and allow to simmer together until well-mixed and flavors are blended. Serve with white rice and cornbread. Like many tomato-based dishes, it's better on day 2 and freezes beautifully.

That's exactly how I got the recipe. LOL I always monkey around with mine so this is just a skeleton really. You can make a non-meat version of this as well.

Love this recipe. Amazingly easy and so tasty.

NEW POTATOES BAKED IN CREAM

10 to 15 sm. red skinned new potatoes
2 c. heavy cream
5 med. cloves garlic, finely minced
Salt and white pepper to taste
Chopped parsley or chives for garnish

Scrub potatoes in warm water. Slice them into 1/8 inch thick slices. Place in an 8 inch square pan. Add cream, garlic, salt and pepper and toss until completely mixed.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and make a hole in the center about the size of a half dollar. Bake in a 350 degree oven for approximately 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes or until cream is bubbling and brown color shows on top. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives.
