I have been really busy at work lately and haven't had much time to blog! I'm going to try to get caught up on some of the things we've been making lately this week. Sunday afternoon while my son was napping and I was catching up on some chores, I started thinking about dinner. And… Continue reading Sunday Dinner – Indian Style Rice and Beans With Easy Flatbread

Kale and Black Eyed Pea Soup
The second recipe that caught my eye in the book Superfood Kitchen was kale and black eyed pea soup. Once again I landed on this one because it didn't call for too many unusual ingredients and we had most everything already in stock in the kitchen. I have been wanting to work kale back into… Continue reading Kale and Black Eyed Pea Soup
Mexican Beans & Rice
Dinner two nights ago was the Mexican beans and rice variation from Beans and Rice 5 Ways at No Meat Athlete. I just love these recipes. They are so simple and good for you! I didn't have pinto beans so I used black beans instead. I also didn't have a lime or cilantro so I… Continue reading Mexican Beans & Rice
Asian Style Rice & Beans
The other day Benzo made Asian style rice & beans for dinner from No Meat Athlete. Benzo makes dinner a lot these days as I am usually nursing Jack around that time. Here's the link to the recipe: Tasty Twists on the Classic Complete Protein Meal: Rice and Beans 5 Ways I have made the Baltimorean… Continue reading Asian Style Rice & Beans
Mahalo Rice & Beans
Hi there. Just a quick note to share a new recipe I made this week. It's another great rice and beans recipe from No Meat Athlete. The first one I made was Baltimorean Rice & Beans which I mentioned in one of my meal plans. I've made it several times and Benzo and I really like… Continue reading Mahalo Rice & Beans

The other day on I Eat Trees, Keri wrote that she wanted to start eliminating as much packaged food from her family's diet as possible. If she could make it, she wouldn't buy it. I commented that I would love to do the same thing, but that my issue is time. Right now I just… Continue reading Cool Beans
Three Bean Quinoa Salad
It's Thursday, which means it's almost the weekend. Whew! Last night I meant to write up a What is it Wednesday post after dinner, but I completely forgot! The Homemade Household has been busy with planting the garden, finishing the kitchen floor and planning for our upcoming trip. Benzo and I are both out of… Continue reading Three Bean Quinoa Salad
Popeye & Protein
It's so cold in Kansas today! I woke up and the radio said it was 5 degrees F outside. I had the hardest time getting out of bed. We turn the heater way down at night and pile on the blankets to save energy (and money) so the house is super cold in the mornings. … Continue reading Popeye & Protein
Not Homemade: Rice & Beans
Despite the title of my blog, I do not make everything homemade. I don't always have the time. So there are some products I like to keep on hand for quick lunches or dinners when I don't have time to make something. Recently I discovered this gem: Eden Organic canned rice & beans. There are a… Continue reading Not Homemade: Rice & Beans
Tuscan Bean Soup
I made the BEST soup this weekend! I got the recipe from a Reader’s Digest cookbook I’ve had for awhile and rarely use. It’s actually the owner of my ill-fated broccoli cheese soup recipe (see my post on Cheese Fondue). Ever since then I’ve sort of shunned it to the bottom of my cookbook pile.… Continue reading Tuscan Bean Soup
