We are having leftover black bean soup and salad. It was the best healthy comfort food I have experienced

WFD at your house?

Have you posted the recipe for the black bean soup? It sure sounds good!

We are having the Enchilada Bake from page 238 of this thread! Can't wait. It will use up all the rest of the stuff in the fridge. It sounds yummy! Green salad on the side.

Have you posted the recipe for the black bean soup? It sure sounds good!

I don't think I have. I will in the a.m.

 

[nucpharm29]

I don't remember who posted the recipe (Lindsay, I think) but THANK YOU for the Jambasta recipe! DH couldn't say enough about it--he LOVED it!! He says it's a keeper!

Tonight I made us frisee aux lardons--basically frisee in a dressing of sherry vinegar, shallots, and olive oil, with brioche croutons and bacon, topped with a poached egg and chives. Now I am very full.

Tonight I am making the chicken provencal stoup on page 1, with salad and breadsticks. It's supposed to be cold and rainy here so it will be extra yummy.

WFD at your house?

ETA: Nucpharm, yet that was me

Here's the black bean soup recipe:

1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped (you can adjust this to as little or more garlic as you desire)
1 green/red bell pepper, chopped (whatever color looks good)
1 bay leaf (you can omit if you prefer)
3 cans black beans, UNDRAINED (I use Bush's in seasoned sauce)
1 15 oz. (I think that's the size, it's the tall can) tomato sauce
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock/broth
2 tbs. ground cumin (I never measure this one, just add a good sprinkle and taste)
1 tsp. ground coriander

Saute the onion, garlic, bay leaf, and pepper on medium high heat until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add coriander and cumin. Add 2 cans of beans. With the third can, take a fork and mash them up in the can. Add to soup. Add tomato sauce and stock. Bring to a boil. Turn heat back and check for seasoning. Serve.

You can also add some hot sauce and some frozen corn, if you like. This is really more of a method than a recipe. Change it up any way you like

I don't know. Something fun- anyone got any ideas???

 

[nucpharm29]

I'm thinking turkey burgers and black bean and corn salad. Makes me think of summer! Wishful thinking!

 

[TigerKat]

Good morning everyone!! Tonight I'm making a dish with pork, onions, peppers, tomato sauce over pasta. It's my own concoction that the family loves. Along with it I'm thinking roasted broccoli and garlic bread!

 

[FormrCastMbr]

HI All,

I have chicken breast marinating...but DFI just told me he would like to take us out to a great local pizza joint...they make the best thin crust pizza!

The chicken will have to soak until tomorrow!!!

I am finally getting around to trying some more of the recipes I've seen raved about here so tonight is: Glynis' Pot Roast!

I'm only doing one roast so I hope it turns out. I don't have a big enough crock pot to do two. I need need neeeed to get a newer big one!

 

[glass- slippers]

It's really warm here today- in the 60's, so I'm grilling marinated chicken breasts!

 

[stacy347]

I'm going to grill some cubed steaks and with those we'll have some mac & cheese and sweet corn.

 

[Mom21]

We had a yummy dinner. Salad, lobster bisque, steaks with bernaise sauce, crab cakes, baked potatoes (only dd ate hers...hubby and I were too stuffed).

 

[MosMom]

I've gotta say, that pot roast was outstanding. I wasn't sure about all those different seasoning packets but it is just perfect. Very yummy and thanks for sharing it!

 

[JennyMominRI]

We had Carne Asada Tacos with Guacamole and pico de gallo with beans.

 

[liamsaunt]

I'm on strike tonight, but I don't feel like going out, so it's going to be takeout for us this evening. Jenny's post above has me thinking maybe some tex-mex. Otherwise, Lebanese, I think.
