Mushroom-Herb Spaghetti

Credit: Photo: Iain Bagwell; Styling: Kevin Crafts

"We really liked this pasta sauce! It was really fast to put together and it was especially nice that the sauce cooked while the spaghetti boiled. The fresh herbs really made the dish. We'll make this one again, for sure; next time I'll probably double the sauce so there is more for leftovers." —Renee

Hot Crawfish Dip

Warm Turnip Green Dip

Credit: Photo: Jennifer Davick; Styling: Melanie Clarke

"A huge hit when I served it as an appetizer at a dinner party and everyone asked for the recipe. Not a trace left. I did make it a second time using collard greens which was still ok, but too strong. Stick to the turnip greens. Served it with bread sticks and chunks of homemade bread." —Keiko123

Pork and Pinto Bean Nachos

Credit: Photo: Becky Luigart-Stayner

"These may be the best nachos I've ever had. Very interesting combination of flavors - the lime soaked pork worked well with the jicama/tomato/avocado salsa. Would be great to serve to guests. If you are looking for same old same old nachos, skip this. But if you want nachos with a lighter, more interesting twist, give these a try!" —mhc1984

"Fantastic! It checks all the boxes: healthy, easy, inexpensive, and delicious. I made it as written, with the exception of using grated parmesan instead of the shredded romano since that's what I had on hand. I'm sure the shredded romano would have been better, but this was still great." —CLJenn
