Very homey and comforting - especially on a cold day, when you want a more 'stick-to-your-ribs' type soup. This is definitely better made a couple of days in advance, so perfect to make over a quieter...

Chances are good you have some dried beans on hand, and that is a great thing. Especially since one basic recipe works for so many kinds, from red beans to white cannellini to black turtle beans. Choose...

I wanted some "real" baked beans for dinner, but didn't want the leftovers from making my usual recipe since I was only cooking for 2. I played around and came up with this tasty scaled down version perfect...
A recipe I found in the local newspaper, and have come to use often. It doesn't have any ketchup or tomato, and is something I get lots of requests for.
A wonderful, simple soup, which can easily be made vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth for the chicken broth. I like to garnish with a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprinkle of chopped chives or...
This is the modern, vegetarian version of my Great-Grandma's refried beans' recipe. Real butter replaces bacon fat (manteca). I hope you enjoy these beans!
I created this recipe from a compilation of ol' school favs (betty crocker, searchlight, etc). The beans are tender and the sauce is light and have the beans the perfect blend of sweet and savory.
This is a Texas style chili recipe with beans. I have this posted on another site, but thought I would share here as well. Many people on reading the recipe turn up their nose at leaving behind some beef...

It just isn't New England without these! For years I was up at 4.30am on a Saturday morning to make my beans. Traditionally served on a Saturday night, these were originally had with fish cakes and cabbage...
Saw this on another recipe site. When I started this recipe I didn't read it all through.(like I should have) Found it missing some key items. This is what I came up with.
This is a recipe I've been searching for for a long time. On my trips to Southern California, I would always stop in a restaurant named Keefer's Inn in King City, California. Unfortunately, the restaurant...
