This is another one of those family favorites that can’t be improved upon! Oh, I “healthify” it a bit when I make it, but I’ve never found any way to make this better. We usually eat this for Sunday morning breakfast. Used to be with scrambled eggs and some vegetarian “sausages”, but I also like [...]

I won’t claim that these are authentically Mexican, but they satisfy my craving for Mexican at home. I made them in the crockpot this time, but I’ve also cooked them on the stove many, many times. Here are directions for both. 3 c pinto beans, rinsed and picked over 1 medium onion, diced 4 or 5 cloves garlic, [...]

This time-honored recipe cannot be improved upon! It’s a family favorite. Similar to baked beans, it’s a snap to throw together. We usually eat it

I sort of combined three recipes I had for chili from Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman,

Found this recipe online. Couldn’t find the one a friend gave me a couple of years ago. This was good too; I don’t think hers had cumin or soy
