    I rinse and soak them over night, then cook them with a large can of crushed tomatoes, a large carton of low-sodium veggie, beef or chicken broth (this last batch I used chicken broth), a whole finally chopped onion, 2 or 3 chopped carrots, about a tbs of dried basil, season with garlic salt and sometimes I add a little tobasco for heat (very little though because I don't like it much beyond mild spicy), and enough water so the liquid is about 6 inches or so above the beans. Just bring to a boil, reduce to medium heat and partially cover the pot. Cook for about 60 minutes till the beans are soft, but not mushy.

    Had breakfast for dinner tonight. I tried a new Bob's Red Mill hot cereal of ground brown rice, corn and buckwheat. It was really good. I mixed in pecans, raspberries, raisins, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and milk; and a raisin bagel with cream cheese.

    Cous cous with feta, pinto beans, white northern beans, green onion, green bell pepper, corn, and seasoning to taste. Not sure on calories. If anyone wants to figure it out that would be great :)

    The hummus crusted chicken, do you use pre-packaged hummus and then just spread it on top of a chicken breast, then bake it?

    Chicken sautéed with peppers, sun dried tomatoes w/ cream sauce over pasta, the home brewed Stout pushed the calorie limit way over, but it was so worth it after a long day 5bcekzsz0d6i.png

    could you elaborate on that kimchi sauce?

    I was originally going to make a traditional horseradish cream sauce, but decided to fold into lightly whipped cream, a kimchi puree. Tasted quite good, worked well with the dish
  • oh nice i think it sounds great w/ the boar and onions. do you cook professionally, or just like it?
  • your pics kinda stand out like a sore thumb. do you have a blog? just super curious. link your blog if you have one!

    Just a hobby, self taught. No blog yet, it's been on my to do list for a while.

    Yeah, I thought the kimchi would compliment the dish and I liked the finished product

  • totally. super well planned. nice balance but still like really interesting. definitely looking forward to more of your pics.

    I had to run over to the UPS store tonight to mail a package, which is nextdoor to the Chinese restaurant, so when in Rome...we had beef fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and broccoli with beef.
