This is a recipe for black bean soup which is a fun dish to try for a Mexican themed evening, or just for something a bit different! I love cooking a big batch of black beans and then using them for burritos, burgers, brownies, stews, and now, soup! The great thing about this soup is that it also works well as a sauce if you leave it thick. The flavours work so well with avocado, lemon juice, pineapple…so I tried it to top a bean burger, and it was delicious!
I have only recently started to make my own hummus, and now that I have, I am wondering what took me so long!!
It is so quick and easy, and ends up being MUCH cheaper than buying store-bought. Obviously, you have the added advantage of knowing exactly what you are eating, and cutting out preservatives and additives often found in processed foods!
Today’s post is a few simple ideas for quick salads to make and keep in the fridge. Sometimes we just need some inspiration to make a change!!
These make a great dish, served with a heap of vegetables and salad! I am always looking for meals that are nourishing but still feel like a treat and these definitely tick the box!
Black beans are one of my favourite beans to cook with. They are great in salads, stews, anything Mexican, and even work in baking! I tried out black bean and sweet potato burgers, and they are delicious!!
This is a beautiful, colourful salad that has a great mixture of healthy fats, grains, and greens.
I decided to make a salad for yesterday’s lunch with my brand new spiraliser (Thanks Dad!) and based it around falafels since these have been sitting in the fridge for a day or two! It turned out tasty, and colourful so I’ve decided to share the combination.
