Homemade Refried Beans by John Spottiswood

I'm ashamed to say that though I LOVE refried beans, this is the first time I've ever made them myself. It's just so easy to buy them in a can, or at a mexican restaurant, that I haven't bothered.

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!

Coach's Favorite Baby Lima Beans by myra byanka

I have a dog park buddy (former basketball coach) I cook for, and he brought me this recipe a lady in his school cafeteria gave him before retirement. If you can't find dried baby lima beans, use canned or frozen. This is a real southern comfort food dish, which you will see when you read the ingredients.

Lentil Salad with Warm Spices by Farrell May Podgorsek

Lentils are perfect for cold or room temperature salads. This salad features the warm flavors of cumin, coriander, ginger and turmeric. Red onion and tomato add texture and color. I tend to overlook lentils so I found a great way to prevent the dreaded mush. Slightly undercook the lentils and then let them sit in the pot until just…
