Any chcolate except unsweetened is out because of the lethicin, and butter, coconut oil and most shortening is off the books too! Well, I got creative, and busted out the black beans! My initial batch had mixed reviews because of the banana flavour, so I used a rather interesting blend of ingredients in this batch - flaxseed, apple butter and an egg as well. Add rich, dark-roast coffee and bitter chocolate too and you've got a winner! http://www.grouprecipes.com/107672/jr-jrs-brownie-bars.html Working on liquidy foods for my post-wisdom teeth removal, I threw this together for a couple day's worth of dinners! http://www.grouprecipes.com/107668/black-bean-tamale-soup.html This is one of those old-fashioned, "church supper" kind of meals. It appeared in the recipe booklet that came with the first slow cookers. It's very rich, so serve with simple sidedishes, like coleslaw, bread, or a salad. We also like this one served over a baked potato! http://www.grouprecipes.com/106888/old-fashioned-one-pot-bean-dinner.html Now this is the kind of school I like! I wrote this healthy, fast vegetarian recipe for my Supervision class' assignment on recipe development and quality control - this thing's been tested 6 times! The serving size of 8 is *very* generous - this makes a ton of food and is a whole meal in a bowl! http://www.grouprecipes.com/106568/spinach-and-black-bean-pasta.html I saw the title of a recipe called "Minestrone Soup For 2" that sounded promising (as a single eater, I'm always looking for small batch cooking) at this URL: http://www.grouprecipes.com/64 657/minestrone-soup-for-2. html but upon reading the vague (and lacking!) ingredients and method I decided to do my own version. All "optional" ingredients are included in NI. http://www.grouprecipes.com/99308/real-couples-minestrone.html RUM BAKED BLACK BEANS This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Pittman Estate in Hurst, Texas in 1993. http://www.grouprecipes.com/96378/rum-baked-black-beans.html VIENNA GREEN BEANS This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Hellmann Estate in Lewisville, Texas in 1982. http://www.grouprecipes.com/94229/vienna-green-beans.html There are a lot of steps to this flavourful, vegan pasta dish, but you can do a lot of the prep ahead of time. The onion / garlic puree can be easily made up to a week ahead, and the chickpeas will keep their crunch for a day or two if kept in a container like a cookie tin - NOT a plastic bag! The toast takes only minutes (though it bust be served immediately), and can be done at the same time as the chickpeas by adding the bread tray to the oven when there are 15 minutes of roasting time left. http://www.grouprecipes.com/92992/summer-pasta-with-broccoli-rabe-and-croutons.html This is an excellent dip/salsa that goes well with Tostito Scoops....and will disappear! http://www.grouprecipes.com/92714/black-bean-and-corn-salsa.html FETA OLIVE TOPPED CHUNKY CHILI This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Monroe Estate in Stephenville, Texas in 1982. http://www.grouprecipes.com/91873/feta-olive-topped-chunky-chili.html
