As I have mentioned before, my family buys the big bag of Quinoa from Costco. We love to eat Quinoa whenever we can, so we go through lots of it. Last night, I made these tacos for the family. The kids ate these without tortillas, so more like a casserole. The hubby and I enjoyed these like we would ...

Southwestern Quinoa and Black Bean Casserole
A few nights ago, I made this for dinner and we all loved it. The kids ate theirs as nachos, my hubby and I ate ours in a tortilla shell, and the next day, we ate it like a slice of casserole. Any way you choose to eat it, you will love it. It is packed full of flavor, veggies, and the many layers ...
Quinoa w/ Black Beans, Corn, and Feta
Believe it or not, I had never made Quinoa, never tasted it, etc. I had heard great things about it, but never bought any to try. I had mentioned my interest briefly to my husband one evening. He was in charge of the Costco run the next day and when he returned, he had bought a Costco sized bag of ...
Charro Beans
One thing I often request for my mom to cook me is her amazing charro beans! I just love them so much. Often times I cook them at home on their own and just have a big bowl. My husband calls them bean soup haha. This is my pot luck go to dish, and they go fast! I serve them Texas style in a ...
Black Bean and Chicken Casserole
I made this dish a few nights ago and it was a huge hit with the family. I LOVE Zucchini, so I was excited to add some into it. My daughter however, quickly pointed out, "I do not like pickles in my dinner mama". Ha-ha, I finally got her to try one of them, and she too said she loves zucchini! It ...
Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burritos
I have heard about a lot of families doing "Meatless Monday's". I have always tried to include some type of meat in all my dishes, but decided to venture out and try doing a few meals meat free. It has been quite fun, and allows for a lot of variety. My family loves sweet potato. In fact, when ...
Black Bean Burgers
I was looking for black bean recipes because I recently stock piled my pantry with some Rosarita's Black Beans that were on crazy sale. Ainsley ( the teenage girl that I have guardianship over) loves Black bean burgers so I decided to give this recipe a try. It was a big success . My boys ate them ...
Crunchy Black Bean Tacos
If you are looking for a tasty, meatless dinner, this is just the thing. It is super simple to make and full of flavor. I have always been one to include a meat item with each dinner, so I was a little unsure of these at first, but the hubby and I agreed, I will definitely be making them again. My ...
Healthy Chicken & White Bean Chili
This recipe is super quick, so it’s great for a week night meal. I would imagine it would freeze well too, if you wanted to double the recipe and save some for the future. It took about 10 minutes to prep and get cooking, and about 30 minutes overall (but only 10 of hands on time). You could ...
