Chef Miki Hits a Home Run for the Super Bowl!

For Super Bowl week, Janet and Jim decided to prepare Outrageous Beans. This choice, would give Janet and Jim a dinner to enjoy while rooting on the Saints, and offer them a new meal that helps them reduce their consumption of meat. As Chef Miki noted, the recipe would be a great dish to prepare for a buffet but could also be used as an everyday meal, when paired with salad.

Overall, the meal was a hit with Janet and Jim – and since they were rooting for the Saints, the day was a total success!

Janet’s Update:

We are definitely having fun with all the cooking we are doing, and I have to say my other recipes are even better because of some tips you have shared. Recent ly, we prepared some chicken and made a gravy with mushrooms from the pan drippings. It is something we don’t typically do, but now that I understand how simple it is to do this, we will surely do it more often.
