Hearty Ham and Swiss Soup Recipe

Kristen — Wed, 30 Nov 2016 20:54:24 +0000

A delicious Ham and Swiss sandwich goes soup style, with this Hearty Ham and Swiss soup recipe featuring Bush’s Organic Variety Kidney Beans.

I’m slowly giving into the fact that it’s no longer summer. The weather in Kansas has been so wishy washy…75 one day, 30 another. I’ve been holding onto those 75 degree days with all my might, but they have been slowly disappearing, giving way to gray skies and colder temperatures. I think we saw our last warm day for awhile at the beginning of this week.

With the cold weather comes the return to comfort food…those dishes that aren’t so popular in the hotter days of summer resurface for the season. My attempt to hold onto summer sometimes shows up in what I make for comfort food. For example, we have Ham and Swiss sandwiches all the time in the summer so to “winterize” that favorite, I like to make a Ham and Swiss soup. This is one of my absolute favorite “hearty” soups to make, for good reason. The flavors blend together so nicely and it really is one of those soups that warms you up from the inside out….

Veggie Fajita Sheet Pan Nachos Recipe

Kristen — Fri, 28 Oct 2016 18:39:51 +0000

Veggie Fajita Sheet Pan Nachos are made extra flavorful with Bush’s Cocina Latina Beans.

My family loves fajitas…especially since we’ve started adding Bush’s Beans to them. You may remember back in 2012 when I first added pinto beans to fajitas. Adding beans to fajitas was a total game changer! They add such substance and flavor to one of our favorite meals. You won’t find us making fajitas without beans again.

That’s why when I decided to make some Veggie Fajita Sheet Pan Nachos, I knew that Bush’s Beans had to be a part of it. If we thought regular fajita with beans included was good, Fajita Sheet Pan nachos with beans? Out of this world! …

Meatless Made Easy: White Bean Shrimp Chili Recipe

Kristen — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 18:32:56 +0000

With the Lenten season upon us, it’s the perfect time to swap out meat for shrimp in your chili! Give this White Bean Shrimp Chili Recipe featuring Bush’s White Chili Beans a try!

For those of you who participate in the Lenten season, you know that the sacrifice of meat on Ash Wednesday and every Friday during Lent is upon us.

It always cracks me up when people refer to giving up meat as a sacrifice. Maybe back in the days of Jesus, fish and seafood tasted horrible, so it was a sacrifice. But now? Now with all the different varieties of seafood available, the plethora of seafood recipes to follow, the spices to enhance, etc. meatless is not a big deal. Plus, even when you can’t have meat, you can always have beans! Now ask me to give up beans and that would be considered an absolute sacrifice. …

Easy As Can Be – Enchilada Casserole Recipe

Kristen — Fri, 08 Jan 2016 18:57:14 +0000

If you love Enchiladas and Mexican food, you’ll love this easy Enchilada Casserole recipe!

This was the first year I can remember that I didn’t add “lose x pounds” to my goals for the new year. I wish it was because I was all done losing weight, met my goal, and didn’t need to worry about what I’m eating any longer. That’s unfortunately not the case. I still have 20-30 pounds to lose that seem to just want to hang on forever and ever and ever.

Instead I’m trying the whole “when you say you are on a diet, that just gives your body permission to gain weight” theory out and NOT being on a diet. I’m eating normal foods, with the goal of just not eating as MUCH in portion sizes as normal. I really believe that’s about the only thing someone in my line of work of recipe development and food photography can do. How can I create all these delicious recipes and not actually eat them? For me, that’d be impossible. …

Easy Black Beans and Rice Recipe

Kristen — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 17:55:39 +0000

This easy Black Beans and Rice Recipe is full of flavor thanks to Bush’s Black Beans in Mild Chili Sauce. Eat it alone, as burrito bowl or filling for a tortilla wrap.

Do you ever think about what your last meal request would be? I’ve eaten some incredible food in my lifetime, but I think for my very last meal I’d go with anything I can get at Chipotle. I especially love their Chicken Burrito Bowls, with black beans and rice, lettuce, cheese and sour cream. I think if I had a Chipotle burrito bowl before I died, I’d die happy!

We don’t have a Chipotle too close to us, but that doesn’t stop me from attempting to make food like theirs at home. In case Chipotle isn’t accessible when it’s time for my last meal, someone around me needs to know how to make my favorite food!…

Copycat Houlihan’s Asian Chicken Salad Recipe

Kristen — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 17:35:06 +0000

You’ll love this modified copy cat version of my favorite Asian Chop Chop Chicken Salad Recipe from Houlihan’s Restaurant.

I have been sitting down in front of this screen off and on for 2 days and can’t seem to come up with anything to say. Not because this Asian Chicken Salad recipe isn’t good… it’s so good! So very good. But as far as the words that need to go around the post, they just aren’t coming.

“Eat This”

“Yum”

“Mmmmmmmm…”

That should be simple enough, right? You don’t need for me to go into a flowery description of the food I place in front of you in order for you to decide if you want to make it, right? …

One Pot Chicken with Beans {Weekly Menu Plan}

Kristen — Sun, 07 Dec 2014 21:18:00 +0000

A simple One Pot Chicken with Kielbasa and Beans recipe, featuring Bush’s Great Northern Beans. Plus, my family friendly menu plan for the week!

Last week was Dine & Dish’s 8 year anniversary! I can’t believe I totally forgot to do something to celebrate with you all. How about if after the holidays we have a prize packed celebration? We can throw a little fun and excitement into the doldrums of January instead of having all the fun be this time of year. Does that sound good?

Whether you’ve been a reader since the awful pink and brown polka dot early stages of Dine & Dish (we’ve come a long way, baby) or if you are a brand new reader of Dine & Dish, thank you so much for being here. Your presence, support and love means the world to me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!…

This Roasted Chickpeas Recipe with a special BBQ Seasoning is a great snack from the Seriously Delish Cookbook! Enter to win a copy of your own!

Before we get to this BBQ Roasted Chickpeas recipe, can we take a moment to talk about Jessica from How Sweet Eats and her fabulous new cookbook, Seriously Delish?

I have always told people that Jessica is one of the hardest working bloggers I know. Since the moment she typed her first word on her blog, that girl has been working tirelessly to bring her faithful followers the most creative recipes around. She has always been someone I really admire for her work ethic and her commitment to stay true to who she is no matter what the rest of the blogosphere is doing. She does her own thing, beats her own drum, and does it so well. I’m really proud to be able to call Jessica a friend and someone I can get real with when I’m overwhelmed by the industry we’re in. …
