I had been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from both my original cookbook which many of you have, and additional accumulated recipes that never got published. This isn’t the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. These recipes are comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Cowboy Caviar

1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (4 oz.) can chopped black olives, drained
1/4 cup minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. each olive oil and lime juice
1/4 tsp. each salt, crushed red pepper, and ground cumin
1/8 tsp. pepper
Dash cayenne pepper
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup finely sliced green onion
2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley

Mix ingredients--black beans through cayenne pepper--together.  Cover and chill at least two hours.  Spoon over cream cheese and sprinkle with chopped green onion and parsley.  Serve with corn chips.

Iris Ahl is an old friend and former co-worker whose hobby is cooking.  She has entered many cooking contests and won quite a number of them.  This is one of her really good recipes.  It looks weird, but tastes great.
