1 cup red lentils
3 cups water…

1 cup brown lentils
400g can red kidney beans, drained (or 1/3 cup dried, soaked, then boiled)…

An easy crockpot dish using just two ingredients for delicious flavorful beans without any fat. You must soak the beans the night before.

It came out wonderfully. This one definitely goes into my permanent file.

1 tbsp water
1 medium yellow squash cut in half lengthwise then crosswise in 1/2-in.-thick slices…

To the ancient Incas, the ivory-colored beads of quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) were “the Mother Grain,” a sustainer of life in hard times in the high Andes. Except for a green-peanutlike aftertaste, quinoa is as bland as rice. Unlike rice, however, it packs a lot of protein. Most organic groceries and health food stores stock quinoa and some of the better supermarkets also carry it.

Equal part red chili powder and flour (flour is needed to thicken the sauce). We usually 5 T of chili powder and 5 T of flour.
1 T oregano…

1 c. chopped onion
2 tsp. minced garlic…

1 tablespoon broth or water
1/2 teaspoon curry powder…

2 c water
1 c fine yellow corn meal…

This is a good dish for a buffet because it is so easy to prepare. Presoak the beans overnight or use a quick soak method.

1 C petite green lentils
1 small onion, peeled…

1 large onion, finely diced
Pinch or 2 of saffron threads…

Okay, now you’re talking my favorite… burritos.

Tacos are always family friendly because people can add whatever they want to them! The bean base is pretty basic, and then people can top them however they please. If you have a favorite ff soy cheese, it would be great too!
