Yum, Yum, Yum. This makes a lot so you can easily cut it in half, but I usually choose to make the whole batch and have leftovers. I start with dried beans because they are cheaper, but if you have canned or prefer the convenience of course that is fine. Just skip the 40 minute simmer. Read more

These are really, really good. I haven’t seen a recipe for enchiladas that’s really like this one so I felt it was really worth sharing. I had been having a hard time finding a good sale on cheese until just this last week so I can affordably add this one back to the menu. If you are paying a lot for cheese in your part of the world, you can stretch this a little by adding beans. It still works out to being cheaper than takeout pizza or even the drive-thru. I have made these with both flour and cornmeal tortillas and both are dandy. Go with your preference. I like to serve this with a nice, crisp salad. Nothing else is needed, these are very filling.

Ham and Beans is truly a humble food, but I love it. So simple, so nutritious, and so easy. Old-fashioned goodness. Read more

I really love this. I love eating this as a main meal with just some crusty bread on the side, but I also get tired of serving the same sides night after night. For a barbecue its a great complement and much fresher than opening a can of baked beans, or a nice replacement for rice as a side dish. Read more

You can eat these like a burger, but my favorite way is just plain on a plate with some sour cream. Beans are hard to ignore if you’re looking for cheap and easy. You can also change the type of bean if you are not a fan of black beans. Pinto would be nice, but I’m not sure northern whites would work in this particular recipe. Give this one a try and see if you don’t love them too! Read more
