We recently moved to a farm back in the fall and we are looking forward to putting out a small garden. One of my favorite fresh vegetables are white half runner beans. They are so delicious cooked with fresh potatoes, diced onions and a few strips of bacon. Do any of you grow your own green...

This is an interesting recipe because it can be served either hot or as a salad. I came up with the idea after making Chicken and Seville Orange Khoresh which calls for orange peel and carrots. I was interested in the method for cooking them in julienne strips. I knew that orange worked well...

Is there a cooking method or a spice that helps reduce the gas and acidi effect produced by consuming beans? I love eating beans but they always leave my stomach feeling uncomfortably gassed up. Any advice from my felow cooking lovers will be appreciated.

So, I'm currently broke AGAIN. Right now I only have a bunch of rice, beans, some eggs, canned tomatoes and some sausages. I'd preferably need these ingredients to make me like 4-5 meals. They don't have to taste like 5 star restaurant food, I just need to get enough nutrients to not die

I had thought I had written this one up, but apparently I haven't... The list of ingredients looks long and if you are not familiar with a vegan lifestyle probably looks a touch odd but the recipe is really easy and quick to make once the beans are cooked and you can always cheat and use canned...
