The Best Black Bean Burgers

I enjoy a black bean burger and haven’t been totally happy with the recipes I’ve made. I’ve posted two other recipes; one by Eating Well and the other by America’s Test Kitchen. They are both good and different but not quite what I was looking for in a black bean burger. There are a lot … Continue reading

French Onion Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

This recipe appeared in an email from joythebaker.com  and it made my taste buds water. Caramelized onions almost to the point of onion jam, good cheese such as gruyere and I used some fresh Calabrese bread. What a great lunch – would have been nice to have a small cup of homemade tomato soup or … Continue reading

Healthy Cabbage Soup and Tuna Fish Sandwich

This combination of soup and sandwich makes for a very healthy lunch or dinner. I don’t think I have ever used the word “healthy” in any of my 1100+ posts except for when I mention it in a Weight Watcher’s recipe. So, here it goes – a soup loaded with veggies and a sandwich with … Continue reading

Mississippi Pot Roast Two Ways in the Slow Cooker

Beef pot roasts are a favorite winter dish and it’s nice to have a variety and even better when I can cook it in a slow cooker.

Salsa-Tortilla Chips-Black Bean Burgers

Black bean burgers are a staple in my freezer and I always have some on hand. I have one recipe from the  America’s Test Kitchen and now this very flavorful version from Eating Well Magazine. I like the idea of using tortilla chips for the breading and the salsa addition too.

Back then there were only 23 contributors – and no I was not featured 🙁  but I had lots of fun. Fiesta Friday has grown over the past four years where Angie’s blog is … Continue reading

Grilled Cheese with Taleggio, Onion Jam and Prosciutto

I came up with this recipe as I needed to use some onion jam I made recently with  Caramelized Onions. Everyone loves a grilled cheese because you can make it your own by the bread, cheese and other filling ingredients you like as well as the type of spread.

Chili Cheese Dogs

What – a hot dog – sure why not! I get regular emails from Joy the Baker, the well-known American baker, and when I saw this recipe I thought I haven’t had one of these in years! I suddenly had a craving for them! When I compared it to my old recipe I decided the … Continue reading

Homemade Black Bean Burgers

There are two kinds of burgers I like to eat; Turkey and Black Bean.  Not that I won’t eat a juicy beef burger but these two varieties  are always in my freezer. I make my own Turkey Burgers and see also Cobb Turkey Burgers but I have still been eating Morningstar Spicy Black Bean Burgers instead of … Continue reading
