A delicious soup - serve hot OR cold.
If you wish, top with a bit of reduced fat sour cream, slice of lime, and sprinkle of cilantro.

A refreshing and colorful mix of veggies and grains with a light olive oil, lime, and cilantro dressing. Fabulous!

This is incredibly high in nutrients, fiber, and is a good source of vegan protein. Plus it tastes great! I plan to sip it throughout the day to stave off hunger. Keeps you satisfied a long time without a lot of calories because of the liquid, protein, and fiber. Bonus: cilantro is said to help the body eliminate stored toxins such as heavy metals, and there is a *lot* of cilantro in this soup!

Easy to throw together at the last minute, perfect for parties and potlucks, this bean salad is packed with fiber and protein. Delicious!

Extremely filling and they freeze well too. Use vegan ingredients if you prefer. These are good plain or served on hamburger buns.

This is great on it's own, with tacos or fajitas, or on top of a bed of greens in a southwestern salad.

Very tasty Side Dish with cook out food
Good dish to take to a Pot Luck Lunch or Dinner.

Tasty Black Bean Soup

Goes nicely with some grilled fish for a light summer dinner.

Spicy and a little sweet; slightly citrusy. My friends thought there might be a chocolatey-Mexican-mole' sauce involved. There isn't!

Good for when you want something spicy

Jalapeños, chili powder, ground cumin, and fresh squeezed lime juice enliven this spicy Mexican classic. If you like, omit the beer and increase the water to 2 1/2 cups. Use three 19 –ounce cans of black beans, drained and rinsed, or soak and cook 2 1/2 cups (1 pound) of dried black beans. If you like your food less spicy, seed the jalapeño before chopping it.

Tasty, good for you and easy to make.

A riff off a dish I had at Wegman's. Best after sitting one day.
