White Beans with Broccoli Rabe and Lemon

I love broccoli rabe, which is also known as rapini, and I am always trying to find new ways to make it. This White Beans with Broccoli Rabe and Lemon recipe is really good. You fry the slices of lemon and garlic in olive oil before adding the broccoli and beans. The recipe calls for anchovies, but I didn't have any, so I left them out. I know some people will be outraged, but "tant pis", which means TOO BAD in French (and happens to be the name of our family cat!).

Dill Pickle Hummus

I keep seeing Dill Pickle Hummus everywhere. Trader Joe's makes it, but I decided to concoct my own. My husband likes anything with pickles. When we were dating about 100 years ago, I remember going to the market and he bought a jar of pickles and ate the whole thing in the car on the way home! This should have been a tip-off!

Vegetable Chili

This is one of my all-time favorite chili recipes, which happens to be vegetarian. It's the perfect thing to make for a crowd with a regular chili con carne. It will please your vegetarian guests and the carnivores as well. It's delicious!

Instant Pot Olive Garden Pasta e Fagioli

“Pasta e Fagioli” translates to “pasta and beans” in Italian. This recipe is outstanding. I have to admit I have never even been to an Olive Garden and hope I never do (sorry! I know it sounds snooty, but I just can't go there). I have given both the Instant Pot instructions as well as the stovetop version. This is a real crowd-pleaser. I should have added some chopped Italian Parsley to serve.

Instant Pot Chili

I have many chili recipes, but this is my new favorite. I have given the Instant Pot instructions and also the stovetop instructions. The addition of a small amount of cocoa powder adds a subtle depth of flavor.

Black Bean Soup

My daughter made this Black Bean Soup from Bon Appétit's Basically series. In this recipe, you don't have to soak your dried beans overnight. The magic is all in the garnishes. Whether you're meal prepping for the week or having people over for a casual dinner, a bunch of toppings—something crunchy, something creamy, something fresh and herby, elevates this humble bowl of beans feel like a party.

Santa Maria Pinquito Beans

Classic Santa Maria country barbecues include the Pinquitos (AKA Pink Beans) and a beef tri-tip. Pinquitos are a very small, chili-type bean that is loaded with California history. These beans are delicious and meaty and the perfect match for any barbecue, chili or even salad. If you're like me and always forget to soak the beans overnight, you can do it in an Instant Pot / Pressure Cooker. I have also included the stovetop version.
