Beans and Grain Recipes

This is pleasently warm but not mouth burning hot!

This is an old Ruthenian peasant dish, very popular in the Carpathian Alps, as well as here in Fair Oaks, CA. Great for warming the tummy on a cold winter day. This is easy to prepare, and good as a luncheon dish served with salad, or as a first course soup prior to a lighter entree.

Roasted Vegetable Chili recipe

A hearty soup that can pretty much go with anything else you serve for lunch or dinner.

If you like "frijoles con chili con carne," add a small can of pureed tomatoes to pot and dish up over cooked kidney beans. Only a peasant would mix beans into a chili pot.
