  • Manzana Chili Verde and Firecracker Cornbread

    Another set of recipes in our trying-to-keep-it-light, post-holiday trend… I made this stew from Veganomicon and Lisa made an awesome cornbread adapted from a recipe @ 101 Cookbooks.  The chili has too many green vegetables to count, plus Granny Smith apples!  The cornbread had a nice little kick that went really well with the chili.

  • Fennel and White Bean Stew

  • "Kitchen Sink" Minestrone

Chris says: I love recipes like this that have so many vegetables in them… Lisa says: I know! The great […]

  • Chipotle Bean Burgers

    Lisa modified a recipe from Southern Living and created hands-down the best homemade bean burgers we’ve tasted. Accompanying the burgers were roasted portobello mushrooms, corn salsa, and an adobo mayonnaise. Chris says: I’m in love! Lisa says: They’re pretty damned good… Chris says: I mean I’m in love with you cooking these awesome dishes! Lisa […]
