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…

Masoor Dal –Red Lentil Stew

Masoor Dal –Red Lentil Stew by Meghna Patel

Dal in general is a true soul food for any Indian at heart. I relish any kind of dal with simple steamed rice. Arhar or Tool and Moong dals top the chart but I am in mood for something different today. Hummm….. I searched my pantry high and low and I found a jar of Masoor Dal/Red Lentil . Now Masoor Dal is not frequently made in…

Moroccan Bean Dip - Bessara

Moroccan Bean Dip - Bessara by John Spottiswood

If you like hummus, you will also like this simple and tasty bean dip. Fava beans are preferred, but Lima beans work well too. You can thin down the dip with chicken or vegetable stock to make a tasty bean soup.

Gujarati Dal

Gujarati Dal by Mihir Shah

This is comfort food my mom has made for as long as I've been around. She's been able to hook my kids on it; Dal is a healthy way to get protein into their diet. I serve it with some rice and yogurt. It also holds its flavor really well as a leftover snack.

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.

Toasted Pfoo Almond Cookies

Toasted Pfoo Almond Cookies by tara cottrell

Not sure why these are called Pfoo cookies. Maybe because you eat a batch as they are coming out of the oven and scald your mouth. And then you can't talk right all day. No idea. In any case, these are incredible. Easy to make, great paired with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Little and great for…

Fabulously Healthy, Edamame, Spinach and Garlic Hummus For Summer Entertaining

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,…

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…
