Cowboy Caviar

Cowboy Caviar by Lynn Yamamoto

This is fresh, healthy and delicious. People love it, even kids. You can make it ahead, so it's great for a summer party. Serve it with scoop-shaped tortilla chips, or have it on the side as a relish. I add extra cilantro, because there can never be too much cilantro!

Homemade Refried Beans

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. But this recipe is simple and it is definitely worth the effort in my mind. I figure my kids are the true test, since they aren't that…

Pork & Chickpea Stew

Pork & Chickpea Stew by John Spottiswood

Super easy to make. Toss all ingredients in the pot (or slow cooker) and forget about it until dinner time. Healthy...and is good vegetarian with vegetable broth and no pork.

Delicious Crockpot Turkey Chili

Delicious Crockpot Turkey Chili by Nancy Miyasaki

This is an easy chili recipe that you can throw in the slow cooker and forget about till it's done. I made this for my family when they were out skiing, and they all raved about how good the warm chili tasted when they got back from the slopes. Easy and a real winner!

Vermont Baked Beans

Vermont Baked Beans by Micheline

These are my favourite baked beans because they remain white when cooked and just sweet enough. I always double the recipe. Freezes well.

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.

Bean Soup, a Simple One

Bean Soup, a Simple One by Dave McFarland

This is a crock pot soup, so you can just soak the beans over night, then add all the ingredients. Let the crock pot do the rest. I chose the faster method, here. You can also do the slow method, and let it cook the whole time on low for 8 hours. This is the kind of soup the I like to make a little different, each time I make it.…

Chickpea Brownies

Chickpea Brownies by Paula Nicholson

These actually turned out really great! I am doing weight watchers and saw a recipe for black bean brownies. Unfortunately, I did not have any black beans but had chickpeas and have made cookies with chickpeas before and they were great. I took a chance and these brownies actually turned out really decadent with no funky after…
