Catching up...

Well, hello again! I just have a couple good recipes to share! I've been doing some repeats lately and we have bean tostadas probably twice a week. The kids love them and I don't have to listen to complaints. I also made the chickpea curry again, which Kyle and I love. And of course, plenty of stir fry!

A couple of weeks ago I made these Sweet Potato Fritters with Smoky Pinto Beans. Yum. I'm so glad I read the reviews about adding more spice because these could be bland, depending on the peppers you use. My store didn't have poblano peppers (what?!) and I wasn't sure what type of pepper would be close, so I used one bell pepper and one can of diced green chiles. Instead of all-purpose flour I used King George gluten-free flour mix. It didn't have that weird GF flavor. The beans were fantastic! I might make these again, but the kids didn't really love them (shocking) so we'll see.

Another new favorite that I discovered somewhere online (wish I had bookmarked it) was a guacamole hummus thing! Mash together an avocado and drained can of garbanzo beans. Then add some chopped green onion and cilantro, lime or lemon juice, and some salt and pepper. So tasty! This could be a dip for chips or vegetables, or make a great substitute for tuna or egg salad.

And finally...and I have no idea what my problem is...but I'm loving this drink. Someone help me. But, hey! It's vegan! That means it's healthy, right?!
