No Tomato Chili Recipe

Heather says:

When it comes to chili, I’m not picky, really. There have been very few chili recipes I’ve met that I haven’t enjoyed. That said, I know how some of you feel about chili, there are those who feel it isn’t chili if it contains: [insert ingredient here].… Keep reading...

Now is the perfect time of year for hearty soups to warm the body and spirit. Served with bread (homemade or from the store) and perhaps a salad, this thick, creamy soup makes a great lunch or light supper, and pea soup is surprisingly easy to make from scratch.… Keep reading...

December 6, 2011 By Heather Solos 7 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Dear Home-Ec 101,

I’m hoping you will have a couple of ideas – we stocked up on a bunch of pantry things before going car-free, and I now have a surplus of every kind of dried bean, and no clue what to do with them.… Keep reading...

Bobbie says:

Have you ever been almost, but not quite, ready to serve dinner when a giant light bulb goes on over your head (so brightly that everyone in the room gets an instant tan) because you suddenly realized that all you actually have prepared for dinner is grilled chicken and potatoes?… Keep reading...

Lentil Burgers

January 10, 2011 By Heather Solos 9 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Heather says:

In our house we try to keep meatless Monday in the rotation, but before we get into the recipe itself, let’s get one thing straight. You aren’t ever going to convince an omnivore that a lentil burger is just like a real hamburger.… Keep reading...

Hoppin’ John

December 27, 2010 By Heather Solos 10 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Heather says:

In my corner of the south, Hoppin’ John is a traditional New Year’s dish believed to bring good luck. I’m not superstitious, but some traditions, like this one appeal to me. Every year on New Year’s Day we serve Hoppin’ John, collard greens, and cornbread.… Keep reading...

Dear Home Ec 101,

I thought if anyone might have the answer to my questions about dried beans, it would be you – I need a “definitive” guide to dealing with dried beans. So far, my Internet and even cookbook searches always yield really varied results.  … Keep reading...

Collard Greens and Northern Beans

December 9, 2009 By Heather Solos 4 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Heather says:

The North and South get along just fine when there is bacon involved. I’m hoping to begin adding more recipes that focus on seasonal fruits and vegetables. Here’s to the first of many.

Don’t be too heavy handed with the cheese, in this case it is just an accent, just let the smoky flavor of the bacon accent the greens.… Keep reading...

When Dry Beans Go Bad

October 29, 2009 By Heather Solos 18 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Dear Home Ec 101,

I am on hour sixteen, and they still aren’t tender. I gave up the stove top and moved them into a crockpot hours ago.(electricity to run the crockpot is far less expensive than the cost of the gas for the stove) They soaked for 2 days, not kidding.… Keep reading...

Lentil Pilaf, Side Dish

October 3, 2009 By Heather Solos 16 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Heather says:
This side dish is great for those avoiding simple carbohydrates. It would also easily convert to a vegetarian / vegan dish simply by switching to vegetables stock. I pull out this recipe as the temperatures start to drop, I particularly like it next to the slightly sweet vegetables of Autumn (squashes, pumpkins, roasted vegetables).… Keep reading...

Black Bean Burrito Recipe

June 5, 2008 By Heather Solos 8 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Heather says:

Meatless meals are often great for the wallet.  This recipe can be prepared with canned or dried beans.  If you use dry black beans, cook 1/2lb dried beans until soft.  I put mine in the crockpot the morning I want to make the burritos, cover them with water, and turn the crock on low.… Keep reading...
