I've been trying to include more beans into our diet recently. This is a great warm salad for fish or chicken. Leftovers are great reheated too. If you dont like chillies-no problem just leave them out...
Born in Brooklyn I got the opportunity to have some of the best Italian food outside of Italy. My Mother from Italy has since passed and I did not write her recipe down so, this is my rendition. It is...
I wasn't willing to trust the bean soup seasoning packet to be vegetarian so this is the seasonings I came up with. I'm a "pinch here, pinch there" cook so you may need to adjust the seasonings to your...
This salad is high in protein and healthy. A great side dish or stand-alone as a healthy lunch to bring to work. Sesame-ginger dressing is available at most supermarkets and Japanese restaurants.
It's been generations and generations that prepared this traditional Shabbat dish... Since Jews came back to the Holly Land it's been upgraded and local flavors and colors took charge. We call it Tshulnt....
Quick & easy picnic salad - very colorful on your plate. The dressing is very tasty. Adapted from Taste of Home's Country Cooking 2001. Hey - sometimes I only have minutes to prepare a quick from-the-pantry...
This is not only a great, filling, robust side dish, but can serve as the main entree when you want a light dinner. Say on a hot August night. Also makes a good quick lunch when you have some left over...
I was at a "soup party" the other day and this was one of the soups presented and shared. FANTASTIC! The hostess also made the same recipe only reduced the broth by 2 cups and added ground cooked turkey...
I adopted this from the Recipezaar account. Suggested dippers: veggies, sausage, corn chips, and/or tortilla chips. After making this (7/08) I decided to reduce the amounts of spices - the original recipe...
My mother-in-law's recipe. It has sour cream and Velveeta cheese in it. It's pretty good. You can use canned or fresh beans for this. Of course if you make it using canned beans, it will not take NEAR...
This is a quick soup using mainly prepackaged ingredients that can be made very quickly. I threw it together when my parents came to visit, and we all liked it very much. I used the packages I found at...
This is more a method than it is a recipe, but I tried it with navy beans and it actually works. Just think of it! Dry beans cooked in less than 2 hours (mine cooked in 90 minutes) and you don't even have...
Found this recipe in a collection of Canadian favourite tested recipes in "Country Cooking". Would be great to take to a potluck or family gathering. Submitted by Lillian Fitzmaurice, Viking Alta.
I love hominy, but I rarely find recipes to use it. Recipe courtesy of Jim Fobel's Casseroles. He says to serve this with burgers, broiled salmon, or roasted/barbecued meat. Jim also says you can roast...
This recipe has more flavor than I thought it would, and it's meant to be devoured. I've been creating recipes left and right for the crockpot, and found a winner for the chili department. When browning...
If you don't have time to cook your beans canned garbanzo beans (BPA- free) makes this Mediterranean-style salad an easy addition to your Healthiest Way of Eating. And you will also be enjoying a rich...
This recipe is from my dear friend, Elias, and his family. They are from the Middle East and this recipe is a staple for them. It has just the right balance of flavours.
I clipped this from a newspaper years ago, and it is one of the best bean recipes I've ever made. It can be a bit tricky to find dried pinquito beans, but try the produce section of bigger markets, or...
I found the original recipe on betterbatter.org/egg-yolk-subs titute-vegan and modified it based on what I had on hand - namely a blend of chickpea and all-purpose flour (I was using it in shortbreads...
Adapted from a friend's amazing baked beans recipe, this is a very flexible, crowd pleasing dish. It freezes well so I usually make a double batch and freeze it in single portions for work week lunches...
How about topping these delicious baked beans with crunchy rye bread crumbs? I bet you'll be glad you did. I've adapted this recipe from one I "found" in a Cuisine at Home magazine.
Portobello mushrooms are the "meat" of this one pot vegetarian dish. If you prefer, you can add cooked chunks of Italian sausage. Recipe from the "Arizona Republic".
When I was pregnant several summers ago, I loved this light, cool salad. It is meant to be a side dish for 4-6, but my husband and I ate it as a main dish for 2. Cook time does not include 15 minutes marinating...
Ontario bean growers grow some of the best white pea beans (or navy beans) in the world. Added to this Creole-inspired recipe, they bump up the protein and fibre content to make for a delicious filling...
My Mom used to make this for special occasions. I could eat a whole batch of this all myself. It is even better the next day all wilted and soggy, but most people prefer it fresh.
These were so easy, fast and tasted wonderful. Makes a very small amount, which is nice if you have a smaller family. From Eillie Krieger's Healthy Appetite show. If you like it smoother, you can use a...
If you're Romanian you love this already. Even if you're not you'll love it once you try it. As long as you like smoked meat. The vinegar is optional, myself I like it without.
Source: Lucy Buffett (Jimmy Buffett's sister; her restaurant is located in Gulf Shores, AL) I have made this many times and I always get compliments. This is a great dish to bring to a party because it...
This is my version of a recipe from the Hare Krishna website(www.harekrsna.com). This site is a goldmine for Indian vegetarian recipes. I also love the fact that Hare Krishna cooking doesn't use garlic...
This is my version of Pasta Fagioli that I came up with by taking bits of recipes and putting them together to make what pleased my palate. I'm quite pleased with the result. This is a very thick soup....
When the weather gets warm, this salad becomes a regular dish on our table. A great light salad for picnics or any other summer-time occasion. I hope you will enjoy this salad as much as we do!
This soup is so hearty and filling, but very healthy and low cal! We gobbled this up in two days! I chose not to add any pasta-the potatoes giving enough starch for me. If I decided to add 1 1/2 cups small...
Yep, another bean salad recipe. This one is a bit different with its marinade ingredients. It's my mom's favorite for every get-together. It's also great for potlucks and picnics. I always come home with...
