Red Beans and Rice is a slow cooked classic made with leftover ham bone, the holy trinity and signature spices served over white rice. This dish was traditionally made on a Monday, which was laundry day, and back when we washed clothes by hand on a wash rack it took most of the day, which left little time for cooking. A leftover ham bone, some dried beans soaked overnight and the faithful trinity of onions, green bell pepper and celery quickly became the go-to meal for feeding the family.

Coca-Cola Pulled Pork Sliders are rich and tangy with creamy apple carrot slaw on a white cheddar toasted slider bun. Using Coca-Cola when cooking pork roast adds such a nice caramelized outer crust that is hard to get when cooking in liquid, but this method sears the roast first, sealing in all the flavor and cooks in cola for extra flavor and color. My friend made a batch of pickled jalapenos and for my birthday I was lucky enough to get a couple jars, which meant I needed a recipe to use them with. I just happened to have apples on hand and they hold up nicely in this slaw,…
