Barley and Tempeh Soup

Barley and Tempeh Soup by Rich H

Tempeh, fermented soy beans or grain, makes an interesting alternative to veggie crumbles (or ground beef) in this soup recipe. It lends a distinct flavor to the soup while also providing protein and fiber, making for a very filling and satisfying meal. Note: The green beans you see in the photo were an afterthought - just a few…

Three-Green Soup

Three-Green Soup by Rich H

Given a challenge by a friend to create a recipe that would use her four favorite foods - potatoes, brussels sprouts, broccoli and green beans in the same dish, I decided that a soup would be the easiest. This take on a classic winter vegetable stew provides the goodness of a hot, tasty soup to warm the chilly evenings.

Mixed Bean Soup with Andouille or Ham (A Gift in Jar Holiday Idea)

Leftover 2-Bean Stew

Leftover 2-Bean Stew by Amos Miller

A quick bite using odds & ends was WAY too delicious not to post. Forget 8-bean and even 18-bean soups - 2 cans of beans, a few veggies and a little smoked sausage turned a toss-off dish into a tasty winner! I had no intention when I threw this together to share it with anyone other than a couple of hungry mouths in the kitchen.…

Green Vegetarian Chili over rice

Green Vegetarian Chili over rice by Rich H

As the seasons change and the evenings become cool it's nice to enjoy a steamy bowl of soup, stew or chili. We decided to make this one a "green event" and used edamame instead of kidney or black beans. We added some chopped kale for a little extra pizazz!

Uncle Sidney's Red Beans

Uncle Sidney's Red Beans by Amos Miller

There are two ways to go here: smoked meats (sausage, rib tips, neck bones, ham, country bacon), OR pickled meat. Either way, you'll obtain a rich flavor profile and a satisfying meal. One, warm, soft, and smokey; one tangy, slightly sharp, sort of barbeque-y, but it's always PORK and beans in the end.. My culinary mentor, whom I…

True Cod and Clam Stew

True Cod and Clam Stew by Nick Roche

I've got to admit, seafood is one of my favorite of the food categories. There is such an incredible variety to choose from and endless ways of preparing the dishes. As far as nutrition is concerned, you don't get any better than the fruits of the sea. Today I chose to combine True Cod and Clams in a dish that is so incredibly…
