Taco Meatballs and Black Bean Spaghetti

May 20, 2017 Barbara

My taco meatballs are made with venison and pork, but you could substitute your favorite meatball ingredients. It all started with a box of black bean spaghetti, which is made with nothing but black beans. I’m always looking for ways … Continue reading Taco Meatballs and Black Bean Spaghetti

White Bean Chicken Chili—Slow Cooker

September 9, 2016October 29, 2016 Barbara

I’m reluctant to call this dish chili, even though I know lots of people do just because it’s a combination of beans and meat. I think it’s a stretch, though, and like so many other dishes, I wish some inventive … Continue reading White Bean Chicken Chili—Slow Cooker

Refried Beans, Not Refried

May 14, 2016 Barbara

So-called refried beans are not fried twice nor even once, although many do the last step of mashing them in a hot skillet, which is kind of like frying. I guess. But it’s not necessary, especially with the availability of … Continue reading Refried Beans, Not Refried

White Bean Chicken Stew with Baby Spinach

July 3, 2015 Barbara

This is one of my go-to chicken dishes, using poached, pulled chicken. I cook the white beans from dried beans, but you could use canned beans, as well. The dish seems both homey and special, something you could be proud … Continue reading White Bean Chicken Stew with Baby Spinach

Chickpea, Bacon, Zucchini Salad

April 24, 2015 Barbara

This is one of those posts that’s almost more about what we don’t like. We don’t like lettuce is number one. He doesn’t like cucumbers, and almost as much tomatoes and mushrooms. I don’t like sour, vinegary salad dressings, nor … Continue reading Chickpea, Bacon, Zucchini Salad

Boston Baked Beans

March 23, 2015November 28, 2015 Barbara

My Mar-Crest Daisy Dot casserole is getting old. There’s a chip on the inside rim of the lid that has started a hairline fracture, so I should probably just save it for display, but right now it’s the only covered … Continue reading Boston Baked Beans

The Predominately White Meal

October 19, 2014January 7, 2015 Barbara

This post contains recipes for white beans, chicken wraps, and Anaheim pepper salsa. I know that the reasons for eating a meal of color are more serious than, say, not wearing white after Labor Day, but I’m bucking the nutritionists … Continue reading The Predominately White Meal

October 8, 2014October 29, 2016 Barbara

What’s a daisy ham? That’s what I’ve been wondering since I picked it up at the grocery last week. I was looking for maybe a picnic ham or even smoked ham hocks to cook with lentils and I saw this … Continue reading Uncle Earl’s Lentil Soup with a Daisy Ham
