OMGoodness mama's. I had the most delicious beans last night for dinner. I want to share our meal with you so you can enjoy it too.
I went to the big health food store aobut 40 miles away and bought some beans for chili in the bulk bin.
Organic Kidney and Organic red chili beans.
I soaked them overnight.
Next day I chopped an onion, threw in a clove of garlic, and simmered the beans very low for several hours until tender. I also added saltand pepper.
Mama's they were so good we ate about half of them and they were all for our chili dinner tonight. I have never had such good beans mmmmmmmm!!!!!!
Well then I made the chili stuff by sauteing garlic, grated carrot, celery, andgreen pepper. When slightly limp I added comino(cumin) oregano, red chili pepper fresh ground even, and garlic pwder and pepper. I let that cook together and when really limp I mixed it in with the beans and added 1 can of tomato sauce and a tini bit of ketchup. It is all in the crockpot for our dinner tonight.
Vegetarian divine!!!! Those beans are so good!!!
Cranberry salad
I am a lover of those jello type salads and it is the only way I can get the family to enjoy cranberry. My 12 yo dd made this for us and it was the bomb!!!
She scrubbed an orange really good. cut in fourths and chopped in the food processor. Added the whole cranberries and chopped them up too.
we added about 1/2 to 1 cup of real maple syrup.
We then made a gelatin with I think three cups pineapple juice boiling and we sprinkled 4 Knox gelatine packs on top of one cup pineapple. When the 3 cups began boiling we added it to the other cup with gelatin in it. stirred it really well, added a can of crushed pineapple and the cranberry orange mixture.
mix well but gently and place in fridge or outside in the cold country. It was excellent and it was great with vanilla ice cream too for a really yummy treat.
If youmake this for your family I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
