Tastes like Amy's Spanish Rice and Red Bean Soup!
I recently made up a tortilla soup that tasted almost EXACTLY like Amy's Spanish Rice and Red Bean soup, and it's only a fraction of the price! It's made with dried red beans to save money, but if you're in a pinch you can you canned red beans easily. I'd use about 2 cans. When made as is (no added oil), a one-cup portion…

I was vegetarian for most of my life and vegan for few years and I would like to incorporate more protein (though not red meat) into…

Super Easy Bean Burgers!
These bean burgers are awesome, best of all, they're low in calories and fat, and are quick and easy to make! When I make these I usually eat them with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, and a little BBQ sauce on a whole wheat bun. They're vegetarian and vegan, and I swear they won't fall apart when you make them!! :) Oh, and…

Curried Split Pea and Vegetable Soup
I love split peas, they're hearty and filling, and they definitely DON'T taste like the green peas you buy in a can. :) This soup would be excellent with some Indian bread and unsweetened, plain soy- or dairy yogurt dolloped on top! It's also one of those foods that tastes better as it sits, so love on those leftovers! In…
