After a day of canning tomatoes with my good friend, we discovered one of the jars didn’t seal and it needed to be used this week. With the cooler weather rolling in, I decided chili was definitely the way to go. Overflowing with fresh, spicy peppers, and hearty tomatoes and kidney beans, this chili is sure […]
Refried Beans Recipe {from dry pintos}
I have become a big fan of refried beans–especially now that Kevin and I have, what we call, “Mexican fiesta” at least once a week. I make a quick batch of pico de gallo and guacamole. We doctor up a can of refried beans. He grabs the chips and sour cream. And we’re off to deliciousness! […]

5 Can Chili
This may be the best soup recipe ever for busy families. From the time you open the first can to the time you ladle out a serving is about 15 minutes. Not. even. kidding. I let mine simmer for a good hour, but that only enhances flavor and/or gives you a huge cushion until dinner […]

Taco Layer Dip {low fat}
It was Super Bowl Sunday. It was also just hours after saying good to the last student after a weekend of leading a trip of 27 to a youth conference. We were tired. We wanted rest and relaxation. And we wanted a private party chock full of delicious Super Bowl snacks. While Kevin cooked up […]
Garlic Hummus
Snacks can’t get any better than hummus and freshly sliced vegetables. Hummus is a beautiful Middle-eastern creation that combines chick peas with garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and tahini (sesame seeds paste). It is chock full of fiber and protein–keeping you full and satisfied for a long time without leaving you any guilt whatsoever. I can whip […]
Roasted Red Pepper and White Bean Dip
Everyone raved about this dip! It’s super easy (just a bit time consuming if you decide to use dry beans) and totally worth it. It’s mild, yet intriguing and could be spiced up even more to suit your taste. Kevin described this as a hummus, but even better. Try it! (You’ll have enough to serve […]
