The richness of this dip makes it seem like a splurge instead of a healthy choice. In fact, this dip is loaded with fiber and is a replenishing post-workout snack. From "WW 5-Ingredient-15 Minute Recipes"...
I got this recipe out of cooking light. The aromatic combination of pinto beans and tomatoes is perfect for a cold weather supper and is simple to prepare. Great with a turkey sandwich
If you love beans, you will LOVE this recipe. I also used a can of great northern beans and omitted the croutons to lower the calories. [Adapted from the Culinary Institute of America].
Delicious vegan stew from Jayme Heimbuch at Mother Nature Network; you won't miss the meat at all, and all the green chilies gives it a lovely tartness. Serve with lime quarters on the table for squeezing...
I found this is a stack of old handwritten recipes. I probably copied it from the Houston Chronicle?? I have not made this at home yet, so serving size and prep time are a guess. Also, I personally would...
I found this recipe on eatingwell.com, and it is SO delicious!! I paired it with a grilled cheese (on light bread w/ FF cheese, of course!) and an apple, and it made for a perfectly satisfying and filling...

This came off the side of a Goya can of beans (to give credit where it is due) and I'm thinking about subbing the crushed tomatoes with a 28-oz can of pumpkin. Putting it here for safe-keeping. The topping...

Tacos. We love tacos. The kids devour them. They love the crunchy mess. They love the flavors. They love to see how full they can make them. And they love to eat them on their special taco plates. (My...
These yummy refritos are made from canned red beans for quickness and convenience. I think they are a BIG step up from regular refried beans out of a can!
Posting for the ZWT ( Portugal) This recipe is different then the others posted since there is no meat except bacon fat. Times are approximate and I am not sure of the servings
Lots of flavor here. This is a classic Mexican dish, kicked up a notch. Adapted from Cooking With Two Hot Tamales cookbook! You may vary this by using mixed beans, reducing the hot peppers, etc.
From Pepperfool.com. I'm always looking for something different to serve with my Tex-Mex casseroles and this is so good. I used 2 can of Great Northern Beans. Also brown my bacon in with onions, etc. I...
Hummus is so common today it's almost become a little boring. Not this version! The starchiness of the chickpeas is counteracted by the sharpness of the parsley oil. Plus the bright green oil makes for...
I love taco salad, but hate the calories involved! This is a healthy, fresh alternative that works out to 4 WWers points if you use the 4% lean ground beef
This is a lovely comforting soup, lifted by the addition of chorizo sausage. A popular winter soup in our house. Time does not include soaking time for chickpeas (though you can use tinned to save the...

This recipe is from the 1920's. It was my sister in law's great grandmother's. I have tried many, but keep coming back to this one. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does!
Caution: don't use too much clove powder, but please don't leave it out. I found this recipe in "Beans" by Alize Green, but the directions are my own. This can be made on the stove top, or made in a pressure...
I love the heat associated with chili and when I think chili, I think an immense amount of heat, equally balanced with flavor. This can all be done in a Crock Pot, which is my actual recommendation, but...
This recipe is adapted from Jane Brody's "Good Food Book". I have been making my version for years. I've tried others, but my family always asks me to go back to this one. It has TONS of flavor! This makes...
This is a different and very tasty salad. I have even added cooked chicken or beef to the mixture. Prep time does not include boiling the pasta and cooking time is chilling time. Adjust all amounts to...

Perfect recipe for those who enjoy eating delicious food more than preparing it! Letting the frozen vegetables thaw instead of cooking them cuts down on the prep time and helps keep them crisp. Feel free...
Chickpeas make this exotic dish a terrific player in any vegetarian menu. From EatingWell: October/November 2005, "EatingWell Serves Two". Posted for ZWT8.
A very tasty and tummy warming recipe given to me several years ago. Once the ground beef is cooked, this can all get dumped into the crock pot. UPDATE 3/09 I added a 1/2 t of dried thyme to round out...
Some years ago, my hubby bought me a Kuhn Rikon Pressure Cooker. I've used it quite a bit over the years. I love the way it makes bean dishes and the soaking is virtually eliminated by pressure cooking...
