Black bean chili/4 recipes

A very different twist on tradional pasta/macaroni salad. Loaded with ingredients, this could be a meal in itself.

Hearty winter meal that warms you to your toes! Any leftovers can be used next day for lunch or a side dish for dinner.

Very moist and fluffy inside, golden brown outside; sour cream added the extra moist and tangy flavor, I used 3/4 cup of brown sugar, and I thought it was the right sweetness. If you have some ripe bananas on hand or you love banana bread, I will definitely recommend this recipe.

These Parmesan sesame twists are addictive, they are golden brown and crispy, parmesan, sesame and thyme leaves are delicious combination.

It is a simple to make corn flatbread, and it can be severed as a side-dish or appetizer with some sauce or dip.

Juicy chicken breast stuffed with cheese, shallots and cheese. The phyllo really helps hold in the moisture to keep the chicken breast moist. This is a reduced fat version of a popular recipe and it's equally as tasty in my opinion. If you wish to reduce the fat even further omit the cheese altogether.

A classic German style potato salad that is served warm. Perfect for Octoberfest.

Meatloaf for the slow cooker, beef and turkey with oats and veggies for some better flavors.

If you can't find orange cake mix, use white or golden---just use orange juice in place of the water when preparing the mix, and add 1 tsp. of orange extract/flavoring. To the topping I also add 3/4 tsp. each of vanilla and orange extract. Garnish, if desired, with Mandarin orange segments.

Pretty darn easy and tasty. I had all ingredients on hand and didn't have to worry about a trip to the store. I didn't use any cayenne because we have small children, but it still came out great. The sauce was tasty over rice!

This is a vegetarian version of black bean-taco salad. The dressing is so refreshing and tasty, which makes this bean and veggie salad taste still delicious.

Slow-cooked beef patties in a creamy mushroom and onion gravy. Real comfort food.

Even the sweet potato/yam "dis-liker" (me) liked the flavor of these. Nice little bite from the cayenne. And the amount of sugar was just right. I don't care for really "sweet" yam dishes at all! Thanks for this addition to our holiday dinner. (Part of my "Thanksgiving 2010" Menu)

An easy way to add a bit of fresh and tangy zip to that grilled chicken breast is to add a quick to prepare gremolata.

It's not a secret that my neighbors Chili is a potluck fav.
