The recipe is a variation of Tex-Mex Bean Pot (with vegan alternative recipe), which includes green bell peppers and spicy bulk sausage, such as Jimmy Dean, neither of which we happened to have. The smoked sausage is very mild flavored and cannot be described as “spicy”, so we added the New Mexico Red Chile Caribe… Continue reading Smoked Sausage Bean Pot

Easy garam masala
I enjoy watching the Cooking Channel, because if I keep watching, I learn things. For instance, one day I watched Bal Arneson’s Indian cooking show, Spice Goddess, and first thing off I learned how to pronounce garam masala, and that it means “warming mixture”.

I bought my most recent bottle of garam masala at a inconveniently-located health-food store; when I ran out, I mixed my own… Continue reading Channa Masala
Barbecue Bean Soup
The card this recipe is written on is badly stained with liquid from a long-ago jar of roasted peppers opened too close to it. I don’t plan to rewrite the recipe on a clean card – the stains happily remind me of all the times I made this. 3 cups chopped onion3 cloves garlic, minced¼… Continue reading Barbecue Bean Soup
