I know that I’m going to make Enchiladas w/ Pinto Beans, Mexican Rice, & Roasted Potatoes. Ordinarily, I would make enchilada sauce. However, I’m feeling a bit lazy at the moment. After all, I did just make Slow Cooker Pinto Beans w/ Habaneros & Garlic, […]
Fall is in the air and you know what that means: it’s bean season. Not really, bean harvesting season is in midsummer to early autumn. And, while there are plenty of people who grow or may otherwise have access to fresh beans? Most of us […]
I have to admit that I haven’t felt inspired to cook in a little while. The problem with not feeling culinarily stimulated, though, is that you still actually have to eat. And for me, that oftentimes means that I’m too busy and work too long […]

All of the Moroccan-inspired Christmas dishes this year revolve around this Chickpeas Tagine. I’ve been eyeing a tagine for a while, now. It’s one of the few culinary pots that I don’t already own. So, I’m absolutely on board with picking one up for this […]
I don’t eat a lot of meat. I have an entire article on What Does “Mostly Vegetarian” Mean & Will I Post Meat Recipes? because I almost never post recipes with meat and always debate about being a part of the “pseudo-vegetarian” community. And I […]
