Stock Up

We had guests over the weekend, and while we cooked plant-based for them, and they seemed to enjoy eating it, which was cool, making them some awesome black bean burgers and the Barley, White Beans, Corn, and Sweet Pepper Salad and the black bean brownies out of the…

Lentils!

Bag of lentils were on sale for a measly $1 last week so I bought three bags. I love lentils. I like to make a bag up and keep them in the fridge as a quick addition to a bowl/salady thing or just to have good choices on…
