Let’s talk breakfast. I’ve been on the search for the perfect breakfast taco but what I’ve come to realize is that I’m not sure there is one. Something about scrambled eggs on a taco doesn’t sit well with me and it could be because I love huevos rancheros so much. I still get the crisp…
Black Beans
Nachos with Corn Relish, Roasted Tomato Salsa, and Avocado
There are occasions when I call people “dude.” I’m not sure where this snuck in and it’s something I wouldn’t say in average conversation but sometimes, just sometimes, I let it slip. For the most part I reserve starting a sentence with dude for times of excitement or things that are really awesome, harkening…
5-Ingredient Black Beans and Rice + Food Bloggers Against Hunger
Today’s post is being donated to Food Bloggers Against Hunger. For all the recipes I share and meals I eat, there is never a moment that I take for granted the healthy food that is on my plate. A staggering 1 in 6 families deals with food insecurity in the United States, leaving many families to…
Chipotle Sweet Potato, Spinach, and Black Bean Tamales
I have this strange fear of any recipe that involves cooking and wrapping food. I’m not talking about burritos, but recipes that involve a lot of rolling or wrapping. I had to psych myself up before making spring rolls for the first time, pot stickers seemed over-the-top hard (it was the pleats), ravioli (uh, ridiculously easy come…
Spinach and Black Bean Quesadilla
My daily schedule is somewhat odd. I’ve been pushing more and more towards having a relaxing morning start. I take the dog for a walk, I do a little yoga, I make coffee, and then usually sit down to read for a bit. I love that my mornings don’t feel rushed. I jump in to…
Sriracha Marinated Butternut Squash and Black Bean Tacos
Just incase you didn’t get enough inspiration from yesterday’s bean extravaganza post, I wanted to give you one more recipe to add to your ever growing recipe list: these tacos. I posted on twitter shortly after making these tacos that I firmly believed if I ever started a new blog, I’d label “I love tacos.”…

Spiced Black Bean, Grilled Avocado, and Goat Cheese Tacos
In a way, I feel slightly guilty posting about avocados. I have a refrigerator brimming with the local bounty of summer and I’m eating something grown from far away. I knew I wanted to make the switch to eating in season after reading Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. While I’ve never been in one place…
Swiss Chard and Black Bean Enchiladas with Chipotle Rhubarb Sauce
Classes end today. I made it through my first year as a professor. It’s all still slightly overwhelming. A year ago I was headed on a completely different path and applied to this job as a really shaky plan b (where plan a was buying a coffee shop.) I walked in to my professors and…
