“Inverted Nachos Casserole” of Beer Braised Black Beans and Mushrooms is an easy and delicious Mexican-inspired, vegetarian casserole that the entire family will love. I am so behind in sharing recipes, guys! We’ve had our spring time change, which means more nice photography opportunities for dinner, and, well, at the risk of sounding immodest I…
Drunken Bean Soup with Bacon for the Slow Cooker
I know we’ve all got spring fever; being cooped up in our homes watching snowfall after snowfall through the windows is making us all a little crazy. So do I wish I had something really spring-y to share with you? Of course. But alas, it has been nothing but cold here and soup is still…
Nacho Topped Smoky Beef Brisket and Beans Chili for the Slow Cooker
The minute I saw this chili I knew I was making it. I found it while browsing online for “smoky” chili recipes, and while I did not make the exact recipe I found (because it required a handheld smoking gun as only a Williams Sonoma recipe would!), I was blown away by the delicious simple…
Bourbon Bacon Beans
Bourbon Bacon Beans are a sweet and savory side dish that pairs perfectly with milder proteins, like chicken breasts. This is a sponsored post via Kitchen Play, in which I have been paid a sum of money to both try Tesoro tomatoes and discuss using them. I was sent Cooking Slow for the purpose of…
Mexican Inspired Chicken Soup with Corn and Heirloom Beans
A brothy chicken soup boosted with Mexican spices and lime juice is the best cure for a cold I have come across! Sorry about the extended absence!! I mentioned in my last post that I had run out of savory meals to share because I had given in to popular demand (i.e., my kids)…

A few days ago we finally got a fish for Alex’s aquarium. We knew you were suposed to start small–i.e., don’t get 10 fish at once–so we just got one. But here is the problem. We got the fish at Meijer’s, where I had not been planning to buy a fish, but we were there…
Fallback Doctored Tortilla Soup
Ack! Sorry for the delay! I managed to be a good blogger through the first week of vacation, but the second week things just got away from me. Meals got made but pictures were not taken. Honestly I did not even turn my computer on the entire second week (!!).
Beer Braised Beef with Thyme, Mushrooms and Beans
I spent all weekend frustrated by the terrible light, brought on by extremely dark, stormy skies. And then slowly became aware of what was going on in the world around me, and was grateful that all I had to worry about was lighting for food photography. The devastation in Texas and Oklahoma has been just…
Cinco de Mayo Mexican Recipes Round Up
Sopa Tarasca (Tarascan Soup) with garnishes I don’t normally post round ups of previous recipes, but noticing all of the Cinco de Mayo recipes popping up everywhere around the web, it just seemed so silly that once again I had not gotten my act together in time. Especially when my site specializes in international recipes…
