Fabulously Healthy, Edamame, Spinach and Garlic Hummus For Summer Entertaining by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

We’re loving this skinny dip. It’s loaded with such good-for-you ingredients. Most hummus is made mostly of garbanzo beans, tahini, garlic and olive oil, but this one’s unconventional. Our green colored hummus has garbanzo beans, garlic and hummus,…

A delicious "fabadinha" by Arturo Féliz-Camilo

Today I dip into our Hispanic roots. The stews of varieties of beans (which Hispanic people know a wide variety of) are very traditional dishes. The gastronomy of Latin America, Spain and Portugal is full of ” Feijoadas “, ” habadas “, ” fabadas ” and the like. They’re nutricious, delicious and famous dishes… Today I am inspired…

Red bean rice (Moro de habichuelas rojas) by Arturo Féliz-Camilo

One of the most traditional Dominican dishes. I used to eat it cold from the fridge! The “red bean moro” is one of those foods that the defines being Dominican. A Dominican will never refuse a good Moro. A plate of “moro” with stewed meat and abundant meat sauce over it is a true culinary marvel. It is one of those foods that…

The skinny on 1 cup of…

Ham (or Bacon) and Bean Chowder. by A.L. Wiebe

My version of this hearty, soup, loaded with navy beans and vegetables. I like plenty of stock to boil the beans in, so they don't scorch so easily, and the stock generally reduces with the brisk simmering. I make a roux to thicken the chowder a bit, but you can certainly skip this step if you prefer, just start with less stock.…

We’ve got a terrific way to celebrate Spring. Bake a fabulous 7-up cake. This nostalgic cake has been popular since the 1950’s. It’s a true Southern treat and a soul food favorite.
