Featuring stewing hens, this pauper’s chicken stew both is economical and healthy – and delicious! Knowing that I’m a sucker for a local meat, the local farm from whom we buy natural chickens gives me a call when they’re processing older – but of course, healthy – birds. As long as I stew these birds long and low, they turn out tender and delicious. Really, a good deal, no matter how you look at it! So, if you think you can’t afford the higher price of local meat, consider asking around for stewing hens.

As I shared during the Tuesday Twister, I am in the mood for beans. Apparently, so is my family. We have enjoyed two chilis this week. Black bean chili is our favorite. Everyone says so every time.

A happy accident last week. I ordered mung beans from Hummingbird Wholesale in Eugene, OR, but didn’t specify “whole”. I received split mung beans. I didn’t even know split mung beans existed. Well, they do. And they’re delicious. Split mung beans are mung beans that have been stripped of their hull and then cleaned and split. They are small, yellow, and are quick cooking like split yellow or split green peas (though I still soak them to make them fully digestible). After browsing the web and finding inspirational recipes, here’s how I made our delicious Split Mung Bean Soup.

About 4 years ago, I bought 3 to 5 pounds each of about 12 different organic beans and barley, and mixed up my own bean soup mix. We ended up with tons of it – 65 pounds in fact! I still have about 5 cups left of the mix in my kitchen. I gave lots of bean soup mixes for Christmas that year and they were well received.

Tata Wardeh is/was my grandmother for whom I was named; she passed away after living a long and [...]

This is one of my favorite growing up dishes. The flavor is excellent; it is warming and filling. I still don’t think I make it as well as my Mom does, but I try! The photo above is of the Great Northern beans I finished soaking this morning (see How to Cook Dry Beans). The [...]

Sylvia’s Chicken Noodle Soup was a hit for our dinner last night! The meatballs are out of this world yummy. We will have this meal again and again. My procedure was to take frozen chicken stock and get it simmering. Then I added diced onions, the soup spices, and 3 cups of wild rice to [...]
