Lima beans are a great option for quick soaking beans. They’re a large and relatively soft bean that retains moisture fairly quickly. I actually overcooked these slightly because they took so much less time than I anticipated! I used this batch for Avocado Dip w/ […]
This week I made Stovetop Pinto Beans w/ Yellow Onion & Garlic and Wild Rice w/ Sweet Potatoes, Yellow Onions, & Limes. They’re both fun and simple recipes to throw together in a pinch. And that means that I’m absolutely going to make a burrito! […]

This burrito is full of calabaza squash. I’m incredibly fond of calabaza. It’s a very large squash that’s a bright orange hue with a sweeter and heartier flavor than your more typical butternut or pumpkin. Although both can easily be substituted in these recipes. I […]
Halloween is looming in the air. The weather is starting to take a turn. A chill is setting in the air. Leaves are beginning to fall. And I’m in full on gourd mode. I didn’t go into this meal intending it to be festive themed. […]
