Rice and beans is a favorite dish among many, I mean it must be as it has its own Wikepedia page. Both foods are widely available and are found in many cultures around the world. This is a spiced-up version and not only are there beans and rice, but chopped jalapeno, a little garlic and … Continue reading
Beans are an important part of my diet and I am especially fond of black beans. Normally, I like to eat them in a soup or chili, addition to a salad, quesadillas, or tacos. This recipe sounded perfect to go with some kimchi rice I had previously made. I am trying to have more “meatless” … Continue reading
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
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.

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

Her catering company has been around since 1985 (which says only positive things about this catering business) and Gene and I were fortunate to attend many business functions that were catered by her group. She specializes in full service event planning … Continue reading
This yummy recipe comes from a fellow blogger whose site I have been enjoying for some time. “Enjoy the island flavors of tropical fruits, spices and rum” says Karen@ Back Road Journal. This immediately caught my eye and after reviewing her recipe I knew I had to make this – it had so many ingredients … Continue reading
I have always enjoyed Mexican food; I just have not made it very often. Gene liked Chiles Rellenos and that was about it. This dish is worth about 6 points per tortilla. If you add some meat you need to add an additional point or two.
This is one of my favorite sauces/side dishes to serve with a pork tenderloin. The beans, red peppers, onions and the added kick of Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and Thai Chili Sauce make it a nutritional, high fiber side recipe. I also like to add 1 to 2 cups of cooked rice occasionally or throw in some fresh, … Continue reading
This is a very simple and nutritional Weight Watcher’s dish. I also have a recipe for the slow cooker. A third recipe comes from allrecipes.com. Or try my Black Beans and serve the chicken over Gandy Dancer’s Rice Pilaf.
