Thought I’d replace the traditional beef in Stuffed Green Peppers with some black and red kidney beans instead. And I’m glad I did! The “filling” is so delicious and fresh…and it be great rolled up in a tortilla for lunch.
(That’s what I’ll be having for lunch tomorrow.)

2 words. Taco Cabana.
I sorta had a little Taco Cabana addiction when I was in high school. At lunch, we would race to see who could get off campus and down Nacogdoches to the closest T.C. and get their chips and queso order in first! First to the table won!!!
Bean and Cheese Tacos were always [...]
We’ve talked about adding beans to taco meat to stretch the protein out a little further. But now, it’s time to take it even further. To “three bean” tacos.
So my idea for “three bean tacos” turned into a “two bean” taco! If you look close enough, you’ll notice that there are only 2 beans in [...]
Tonight’s $5 Dinner Challenge recipe comes from Lisa, who I met in San Antonio at my cookbook signing! I’ve been intrigued by the recipe ever since she sent it…and it was yummy!
Chana Masala is popular Indian vegetable dish, with a distinct sweet and sour flavor. Lisa has tweaked a few recipes and come up with [...]
Pam shares the ins and outs of her 365 Day Rice and Beans Challenge, plus a few recipes that she sneaks in some bean or lentil puree!
There is just something about grilled chicken. It’s so….

Tender on the inside, and a bit crisp on the outside.

This is a simple marinade for any kind of chicken. It gave the chicken a lovely, sorta sweet, flavor!
Ingredients
