Creole

This Caribbean rice and beans recipe has a creamy coconut milk-based sauce and really packs a ton of flavor. Adding a whole scotch bonnet pepper gives it a spicy kick, but it's not overpowering.

Red beans and rice is a Louisiana classic that never gets old. This recipe is full of simple ingredients that can be enjoyed as a main or a side.

This may be the most perfect one-pot meal I've ever found! Just 10 minutes to prep and a few hours in a slow cooker gave me a complete healthy meal. The Cornish hens were juicy and practically fell apart, the onion and sweet potato were tender, and the green beans were still crisp.
