• Hoppin' John (Desmond's version)

  This is an amalgamation of various recipes I found on the Internet for southern black eyed peas. Can easily be made vegetarian by omitting the bacon and using vegetable broth.

  Yield: 5 servings

• Hoppin' John (Pioneer Woman version)

  This version of Hoppin' John uses a lot more peas, so it's less soupy. Omit ham hock for vegetarian, use vegetable broth.

• Best Ever Creamy Crockpot Cocoa

  Delicious but very rich. I usually reserve this for the holidays, often New Year's Eve.

• Tonic Water (Desmond's simplified version)

  I based this one off of Jeffrey Morgenthaler's but I cut out a lot of the ingredients. I prefer this one because it's simpler and doesn't fight so much when you pair it with a good gin.

• Apple Cheddar French Toast

  This one is a crowd pleaser and good for brunch

• Meatloaf (Vegetarian)

  Being vegetarian, this is obviously not a real meatloaf, but it's still pretty good.

• Gravy (Vegetarian)

  A pretty decent vegetarian gravy that I make fairly often to go with both vegetable and meat dishes. This has been adapted and simplified from another recipe I found on the Internet.
