Potluck Next Weekend
We’ll be visiting friends next weekend and having a potluck of sorts. The other mom and I are contributing fixings for rice bowls. I often serve rice bowls when we have company at our house, but this will be the first time we take it on the road. I suggested it for the meal plan [...]
Sprout-Purple Cabbage-Pumpkin Seed-Tomato Salad
I can’t believe how much I’ve enjoyed this salad. Yumm just doesn’t describe it. Layered at the bottom of the bowl is a layer of mixed sprouts (alfalfa-red clover-fenugreek sprouts). Next, a generous scoop of the salad I mentioned yesterday — shredded purple cabbage, mung bean sprouts and lentil sprouts, tossed in our favorite dressing. [...]

Seasoned Black Beans for Rice Bowls
A great way to make a double batch of this is to cook 5 cups of dry black beans in the crockpot overnight. Use a 4- to 5-quart crockpot. In the morning, you’ll have 15 cups of cooked black beans, which will make the following recipe twice. Use half the beans for the first batch [...]
Yummy Chicken Salad
With the weather warming up, we sure feel like having lighter, cooler foods. This is a deliciously simple chicken salad. We like to eat it with Quinoa Dinner Cakes. Yesterday when we were out clearing brush and cleaning up our property, I brought out a bowl of this chicken salad and a bunch of the [...]

Fasooli (White Beans and Rice)
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 quick-soaked this morning (see How to Cook Dry Beans). The [...]
Chicken Meatballs & Wild Rice Soup
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 that. I [...]

Chicken Ginger Soup
