I’ve just brought most of my plants in for winter. They’re still producing fruit. A couple of the plants are actually producing a lot of fruit. Right now I have an abundance of Carolina reapers. There’s always a chance for cross-pollination among peppers, so you […]
It’s officially fall and you know what that means: It’s pepper season. Peppers are a fall harvest crop and one of my favorite things to grow. It might take all summer for them to ripen in my climate, but it’s well worth the effort when […]
I’ve been excited about black beans lately. They’re quick and easy to toss together (15 minutes to throw into a crock pot and then 8 hours to slow cook). No need to soak them overnight or fuss with simmering them on the stove (unless you […]
Fall is in full swing. And you know what that means? It’s pepper season. I might be considered a pepper aficionado at this point. I eat an enormous amount of peppers. But I also like to grow my own peppers. And don’t get me wrong, […]

I’m not entirely sure what I want to make today. I have a plethora of beans and quinoa in the pantry that I’m trying to use up. So, I’m thinking that I’m going to make some kind of quinoa and black bean concoction. I don’t […]
I made Avocado Dip w/ White Beans the other day and have been thinking that it would be great on a burrito. I tend to make Avocado Dip w/ Greek Yogurt. It’s one of my favorite side dishes. I use it all of the time […]
I don’t always make white beans avocado dip. Although I very frequently make Avocado & Greek Yogurt Dip! It’s roughly a cross between hummus and guacamole, but works with a wider variety of dishes and lasts infinitely longer in the refrigerator than anything with avocados […]
