Fava beans are surprisingly flavorful and easy to work with. They blend well with other ingredients and carry enough flavor to leave their own mark. The do require shelling if you buy them fresh, but it's...
From Safeway Brand Pinto Beans package: "This delicious Mexican-style side dish is mild enough to compliment a variety of entrees. Try it with enchiladas and fajitas, roast chicken, hamburgers and meatloaf."...
My absolute favorite. Every time I serve this I get requests for the recipe. It is spicy, but you can easily adjust the seasoning to your liking. The chorizo adds a nice warm spicy flavor and creamy beans...
A combination of two of our favorite things....hummus and pesto. You can add extra pesto if you really like it, but I prefer a "lighter" taste in this dip
Subtle and fresh, this has a gentle but memorable flavour. Contains lots of fibre and vitamin C. It is hearty but not heavy. And it's easy! The cooking time includes the time for soaking rice, so if you...
Ladies & Gents, this is an awesome family recipe! This will feed 20-25 people so please keep in mind you will have to cut back on the ingredients if preparing this for less people.
This is an adopted recipe that I've not yet had the chance to try. I have made similar vegetarian chilis before, and feel comfortable recommending it especially considerng the extant reviews, but would...
Pretty contrast in color and flavors; make sure to use mild onions. Add some of the lemon's zest, if you like. From "Diabetes Cooking for Everyone", by Carol Gelles. Exchanges: 1/2 bread, 1 vegetable,...
From Cookshelf Healthy Cooking. For a heartier soup, add 12 oz diced cooked chicken. Serve with low-fat pesto sauce (recipe included) and garlic bread. Doesn't that sound just so good?
These beans are awesome! Great flavor with lots of juice for dipping your tortilla's in! I like to serve them in a bowl with fresh diced onion on top! Great with BBQ Ribs!
A very satisfying meal; also a great choice for those on a diet. One cup is equal to two Weight Watchers points. If the diet isn't too much of a concern, try topping this with some shredded cheddar and...
When I was a vegetarian as a teenager I used to make the recipe all the time. It is very inexpensive (maybe $3 for the recipe) and takes almost no time at all. Eat alone or use it as a burrito filling....
Call it a relish....call it a dip....call it a salsa...or call it a side dish...I call it delicious! A friend of mine got this recipe from "The Pioneer Woman cooks" website, but I've changed a few things...
A very tasty chili to warm you up on a cold winter's night. Use extra lean beef to further reduce the fat content. It turns out very thick and delicious.
i got this recipe from a great cookbook that is full of fabulous "from scratch" recipes. this one is great. It takes time, but it's worth it. i make batches and freeze them so i never have to worry about...
This is the perfect blend of Tangy/Sweetness, it is remarkably mild, not oily and is hugely versatile! Wonderful for picnics, lunches to go or just an added side at dinner. I do NOT like apple cider vinegar...
A quick and easy vegetarian supper for those busy weeknights. Turn that can of beans into a tasty meal in no time. Adapted from "The Vegetarian Gourmet's Easy Low-Fat Favorites".
This delicious side dish is very easy to make. It practically cooks itself! Because these beans are so good, I usually make a double batch. The recipe comes from household advice columnist, Heloise. Her...
Delicious polenta recipe from Feeding the Whole Family. To make this recipe fun for kids, serve the bean-vegetable part in a bowl and cut some strips of polenta to use as dippers.
Given to me by a friend. This is so good! Not sure of the size of the can of beans but it is the regular size can. Same on the onion soup mix but it is just 1 envelope!
For a simple dish, this contains many healthful ingredients, plus the flavors are complex. If you toss the spinach and Asiago cheese while the pasta is still warm, the spinach will wilt and the cheese...
Chili recipe for the slow cooker swap... tweeked the directions and ingredient list. This was the first recipe I had posted in a contest! Thanks for your comments.
Our FAVORITE salad ever. . .it's a spin on one of Giada's recipes. Great as a main dish or as a side. I love the mix of the lettuce, warm salty sausage, creamy cheese and beans along with the sweet dressing....
