Fresh Pintos

Fresh Pintos by Groomsie

My grandmother Manuela taught me how to make these. She used to serve them in her restaurant in Mexico. A simple recipe which can be served as a side dish or even as an entree! Great to have your kids or grandchildren sort through the beans the night before. Remove broken beans, dirt and rocks before soaking.

Vegan spicy sautéed mushrooms in 10 minutes. by Helenscooking

Yellow Garlic Rice and Broccoli

Yellow Garlic Rice and Broccoli by Smokinhotchef

I make this all the time for a quick and easy side dish. Alternately, this can be a main dish by adding 1 lb. of chicken, beef, or pork. my daughter Genesis loves it and enjoys this recipe as her main dish with no meat added. I feel great knowing my children can be satisfied with a meatless meal and still be happy!

Easy Crock Pot Orzo

Easy Crock Pot Orzo by Carolinaheartstrings

I love the versatility of a crock pot, from desserts, to soups to even this easy orzo side dish. It takes no time to prepare and only a few short hours to cook. Put it on in mid afternoon and it will be ready by dinner. The crock pot makes the orzo so fluffy and delicious.
