I've already done Red Beans with Okra, Hoppin John with Collards, a batch of Pintos with Bacon, and I have the makings for Bangers and Mash on deck when I get through with the Gumbo. She's coming along nicely.

I like the Barley Soup Idea but I think I'll pass on Bart's Chili....not that it's not a killer recipe but it has Tomato's and I try to avoid them in my CI pots and skillets. I do like the Smothered Pork Chops idea though. I stumbled across a new recipe the other day that I'm wanting to try. I'm sure I'll eventually get around to it.
