Rice & Beans. Close your eyes and think about the first time you had rice and beans. Where were you and how old were you? I couldn’t tell you my exact age, however, I do know that peas and rice, a culinary cousin, were a staple in my family homes as a child. It’s no […]

A Southern take on a West African peanut soup, this soup has a savory yet still sweet and nutty flavor. Peanuts are a great source of heart-healthy fats and plant-based protein. This dish calls for fresh pumpkin, but you can use additive-free canned pumpkin for a similar taste. Serves 8-10 [3/4 cup each] […]

Here’s a recipe brought to you straight from my home kitchen: gluhwein! This traditional German beverage is a spiced wine (or mulled wine) that’s absolutely perfect for this time of year. In German, gluhwein translates to “glow wine,” and it’s representative of making you feel a warm glow during cooler fall and cold winter months. […]
