In typical “Duh!” fashion, I photographed the soup before I decided to add the balsamic vinegar–and the vinegar is crucial, or at least it was to us, to the final taste of the dish. And just as I was getting caught up on blogging… life has caught up with me again. Ridiculous. I’ve been sitting…
Greek Baked Beans With Honey and Dill
Back in February, in time for Lent, the New York Times had an excellent article on Greek vegetarian food by Martha Rose Shulman. Given my interest in Greek food and my interest in vegetarian food, especially legume-based vegetarian food, this article was a treasure trove of recipes. If anyone has a book on vegetarian Greek…
How To Rescue A Bean Soup
I thought about not including this recipe. I mean, it is not very different from some other recipes I’ve had on here, bean soups are not exactly photogenic, and it initially was not a success anyway. But then I thought maybe that in addition to sharing the recipe, I would also share with you how…
Garlic, White Bean and Chorizo Stew With Spinach and Sherry Vinegar
Garlic, White Bean and Chorizo Stew With Spinach and Sherry Vinegar is the perfect example of just a few quality ingredients leading to a delicious meal. I made this dish a second time in November 2015 and updated the photos. This recipe was definitely outside of my comfort zone. As some of you know, I…
A Drunken Pot ‘O’ Beans
I’ve had a hectic, back and forth to Columbus, lingering virus, blah blah blah week or so, and when I recently got back from Columbus I did not want to think about anything complicated for dinner. As a matter of fact, what I really wanted was beans. It may surprise you to learn that while…
Frontera Grill, FINALLY! & Arroz con Pollo y Frijoles y Calabacitas (Chicken and Rice with Beans & Zucchini)
I first started cooking from Rick Bayless cookbooks almost 10 yeas ago (!). I forget how I discovered my first, Mexico One Plate At A Time, but I did at any rate and I loved it. My beans came out perfectly, as did my homemade chorizo. Since then I have acquired all of his books,…
Somewhat Tarascan Bean Soup
You are staring at the title of this post, the pictures, and possibly scratching your head, unless you are quite familiar with regional Mexican food. There are actually 2 ways of making Tarascan soup, one with a chile-ancho-tortilla base, as I made last week, and one with a purred bean and tomato base. I bookmarked…
Roasted Summer Veggie Salad with Lemon Tomato Herb Vinaigrette
Our regional (I woud say local but I have to drive to Columbus or Cincinnati) used bookstore chain had a big sale last week. And to make matters more tempting, there were different coupons for each day. And I have 2 locations within an easy drive of me (versus Columbus). OY. Serious damage was done….
Ugly But Soooo Good: Lime Spiked Black Bean Dip
I was of 2 minds about whether or not to post this dip because my goodness it took a bad picture. It was a pig roast dish and had no fancy plating like the brownies–plus I only got photos taken with leftovers. By which point I was not in very good shape for photography. But…
