A few of you have inquired about my love for legumes. They’re inexpensive, packed with fiber and protein, all natural, an
d can live for a long time in the pantry. What could be better? Here are a few of my favorite recipes. Enjoy! Hope to post something a little more significant later. For now, it’s a hill of beans. (Sorry, really stupid joke.) Enjoy!
1. Roasted Garlic and Butternut Squash Cassoulet
2. Poblano, Mango, and Black Bean Quesadillas
3. Bacon, Onion, and Brown Lentil Skillet (Sometimes I add spinach too)
4. Chipotle Corn and Two-Bean Chili
5. Tuscan Vegetable and Bean Soup with Cheese Croutons
6. Red Lentil Mulligatawny with Apple-Celery Salsa (I use regular brown lentils)
8. Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies (at bottom of post)
9. Simple beans, rice, and cheese: (This is my easy go-to, I cook a ton of it and keep it in the fridge: Pinto beans in a crock-pot, soak overnight, add garlic, salt. Cook all day, serve with brown rice. Cheap, healthy, delicious. Mmmm!)
10. Better Macaroni & cheese: Cooked, pureed white beans or chickpeas can be added to macaroni and cheese.

I am so inspired by all your recipes. I’m in a cooking rut (i.e. I give all my thoughts and energy to gardening this time of year) so this is great timing!
Thanks so much for posting these Kari! Josh and I have been inspired by your tight food budget. Since going gluten free two months ago our food budget went up by a couple hundred dollars! It was a shock!! I’m sure it was because it’s initially tricky to figure out all new recipes, for a totally new eating lifestyle etc., BUT we’ve since realized that we can clearly be cutting costs! And now I’m determined to be aggressive about it! We are rice and bean lovers, but I have had trouble finding recipes that I like, since we are now limited on seasonings we can use, etc… we just have to go through the process of researching them first.
I know we just loved the soup you made that night you guys had us over when Heidi was a tiny baby, so I’m sure we’ll love these!
Thanks again Kari!
Hugs to you friend,
🙂 Bethany
