Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
This easy, from-scratch Black Beans recipe combines bold savory flavors like onion, garlic, and smoky cumin with humble beans, and transforms them into something special. Two pantry-staple SECRET ingredients are added at the end to create a wonderfully balanced flavor profile!
This recipe will blow your mind. Hearing that I know you’re skeptical, but just hear me out.
Beans are the type of thing you eat a bite of and expect them to just be ok. Meh, if you will.
…Vegan Pineapple Black Bean Salad with Pomegranate Arils and Coconut Chips is a delicious balance of sweet and savory flavors! Mike and I are currently in London, on a quick little whirlwind of a trip. Before we left when we were putting together a list of things we wanted to see, I asked Mike what he was looking forward to most. His reply: the food. Yeah, that sounds about right....
Do you go out for dinner on Valentine’s Day or stay at home? (I usually make Mike and I a romantic meal, like our favorite Spiced Sirloin Roast for Two, but this year I’m on strike…so either he’ll end up cooking or we’ll go out. Because sometimes a girl just needs to go on strike for a night, right, ladies?)...
One of the perks of living in Florida is that when fruit trees bear fruit, people suddenly have more than they know what do with, and the wealth inevitably gets shared. I remember waking up to a huge box of mangos on my front porch one morning when I lived there during law school… One of my friend’s parents’ had a mango tree in their backyard (along with a grapefruit tree, those lucky ducks) and I was absolutely certain the fruit was from her family (who also frequently dropped off oranges and avocados that they got from a friend who also had fruit trees)....
Some things just naturally go together swimmingly. Effortlessly. Like cheese + crackers. PB + J. Summer + corn on the cob. Cake + birthdays. Pizza + movie night. Chocolate + ladies. Those pairings need no explanation....
Today’s post is dedicated to helping feed those in need. We don’t have to look as far as you might think to find hunger…did you know that in the U.S. nearly 1 in 5 children live in households that don’t know where their next meal is coming from? That’s 16.2 million kids struggling with hunger in this country alone. Millions of Americans are limited to spending an average of only $3 to $4 per day on food through the food stamp program. With that in mind, I wanted to come up with a healthy dinner recipe to feed a family of 4 for $4 or […]...
Almond-Crusted Chicken with Lemony Olive and Black Bean Relish is a family-friendly weeknight meal, but also makes a perfect stay-at-home date night meal! I’m a truly lucky girl. Now in addition to being able to cook eggs (at least two different ways), my multi-talented hubby can make a pretty fantastic breaded chicken cutlet. (Don’t think I’m being sarcastic – I am being absolutely serious! He can also do laundry, mop a floor until it sparkles, pick out the prettiest flowers in the world for me, and develop and maintain a computer network.) He doesn’t make breaded chicken cutlets very often, but I always get excited when he […]...
