Beef Cholent
Cook’s Note: My grandmother loves to use beans as an ingredient in most of her recipes. My favorite dish that she makes is beef cholent. She always makes this dish in the winter, and I can't eat enough of it.

Nona's Fijones
Cook’s Note: This is a recipe that my Nona served for Friday night dinner and the leftovers were mixed with Spanish rice on Saturday night. My mom made it for the family but not always on Fridays and many times there were no leftovers. I continued to make it for my family and now that my children have moved on there are leftovers for me and my husband to add to the Spanish Rice.
