Chipotle Black Bean and Bulgur Burgers

I momentarily forgot about it, but yesterday was National Grilled Cheese Day! I created a recipe for Tillamook (which will be up on their blog sometime this month), but here’s a sneak peek: So, Black Bean Bulgur Burgers. Yep, that’s some nice alliteration. I’ve been trying to figure out [...]

Summer Black Bean Quinoa Bowls

I’ve been on summer break since June 10th. Almost 2 months. I had a few things on my summer to-do list, one of which happened to be visiting the Thursday morning farmers market which cannot be more than 2 miles from my house. And yet it took me almost [...]

I think this will be my go-to potluck dish for every one that I’m ever invited to for the rest of my life. Here’s why: 1. You only need need 5 things to make it (beans, a lemon, tomatoes, almonds, and feta) 2. It can sit out for awhile [...]

Recipe Exchange: Black Bean Pumpkin Chili

I have to be completely honest. I was reluctant to try this recipe. I wasn’t sure about the combination of pumpkin and black beans, and I really didn’t want to be disappointed. But, following the rules of the recipe exchange, I made it, and it was delicious! My one [...]
