Chicken Chili gets a boost of Asian flair thanks to Bush’s Beans limited edition Asian BBQ Beans!

I love Asian food. I especially love it when there is a fusion between Asian and American foods. For example, take this Asian BBQ Chicken Chili. I don’t believe I’ve ever eaten chili with Asian inspired flavors, but it works so well, It’s almost like they were meant to be paired together! …

Chickpea Salad Sandwiches Recipe

You won’t miss the chicken when you replace it with Bush’s Garbanzo Beans in this flavorful Chickpea Salad Sandwich recipe!

Oh friends…I am so excited to share this recipe with you today!

As you know, school is back in session for us, which means I’m no longer responsible for feeding my pesky kids at lunch time. Lunch time gets to be all about me, myself and I. It means no more “kid friendly” lunch food…instead I get to eat what I want and what I crave. I’ve recently discovered this is a big silver lining to my kids being at school all day. A little me time and a little grown up lunch time is definitely not a bad thing! …

Our New Favorite Chili Recipe

Kristen — Fri, 31 Jan 2014 04:18:49 +0000

Our new favorite chili recipe, made with three different varieties of Bush’s Reduced Sodium Beans.

I’ve always been of the belief that chili was chili and that it was hard to make a chili absolutely more outstanding than the next. Because of that (now I know) misguided belief, I rarely switched things up when we had chili. I would follow my old standby recipe and serve it up as is.

Luckily I was recently working with a client on photographing some various chili, and had the opportunity to try a number of different kinds of chili. All I can tell you is, boy I have been missing out all this time! I’ve always liked chili, but now I have to say I really really like chili. …

Healthiness {Recipe: Healthy 2 Bean Kale Soup}

This recipe post is sponsored by Bush’s Beans.

You can tell by the different soup recipes I’ve posted on Dine & Dish throughout the years that I turn to soup for comfort. My mentality has always been the creamier, the heartier, the cheesier, the better! Why waste time and calories on a “healthy” soup? Surely they don’t taste as good as a big, steaming bowl of, let’s say, baked potato soup?

Then I met Sarah Jenks and started going through the Live More Weigh Less Mastery program, and began to really understand my not so great relationship with food. I’m discovering that the decisions I make every day with some of my less than stellar food choices are going to be really hard habits to break. But, I’m working on it…and with the artillery of information Sarah is sharing, I’m really starting to break through some life long barriers and am changing my relationship with food. Which brings me to this Healthy 2 Bean Kale Soup recipe….

So Easy, So Good {Recipe: Black Bean Corn Cheese Quesadillas}

Kristen — Mon, 29 Jul 2013 03:32:39 +0000

This tasty recipe is brought to you by Bush’s Beans

Black Bean, Corn and Cheese Quesadillas make an easy and tasty weeknight, meatless meal!

You know what I hate? Food that tastes so very good but is ugly as heck to photograph.

Hate might be a strong word, so I’ll change that to really dislike. When I make a recipe that is a quick weeknight meal that my entire family loves, but my pictures turn out looking like something less than delicious, I get annoyed. I’m afraid you’ll take one look at the pictures and say “Nope… that food is ugly! I don’t want to make that, pin that, share that, etc.”

This one time, don’t judge a recipe by its picture! Honestly, Bush’s black and refried black beans and corn with salsa and gooey, melted cheese smashed between two tortillas isn’t pretty. I’ll admit that. But friends, this recipe was beyond easy, plus really quick to put together and it tasted really good. I’d hate for you to miss out! …

Feed Me {Recipe: Southwest Black Bean Chicken and Rice}

Kristen — Fri, 31 May 2013 21:20:36 +0000

This post is brought to you by Bush’s Beans – and my gaggle of hungry kids home for the summer

Oh my gosh – my kids have been home for the summer exactly one week and they have become the most demanding little creatures. For some reason, they keep saying I’m supposed to feed them at certain times of the day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner? What? I didn’t sign up for that, did I?

As much as I love to cook, I will admit that I don’t love cooking three meals a day… and having to feed people for breakfast, lunch and dinner is just right at the point of too much hassel. Really. Don’t you agree?…

My Favorite Bush’s Beans Recipes {Giveaway!}

Kristen — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 20:37:14 +0000

I am currently on a little 8 day detox / cleanse trying to rid myself of some of the bad food habits I can’t seem to kick myself from. I’m on day 4 (so half way through) and it’s going really well! The good thing about this detox is, even though I have had to eliminate sugar and carbs for a few days, I am getting to enjoy a moderate amount of protein. As long as I can have my favorite beans, I’m good to go.

I’ll let you know how things went at the end of 8 days. I can tell you this much… being a food blogger and being surrounded by all the temptation on the web is the toughest part. However, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and all that, right?…

Dine and Dish Menu Plan: February 17th – 23rd {Recipe: Taco Soup}

Kristen — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 01:03:02 +0000

I didn’t end up creating a menu plan last week because we were out of town over the weekend and I just didn’t get it done. I can tell you that our wallets and waistlines both saw just what failing to plan does… I spent more money eating out and I’m sure that equaled more calories and junk being put in our bodies. I am convinced that planning our menu weekly is definitley the way to stay on track!

Here’s our menu plan for this week, and below that a recipe for Mesquite Taco Soup that I threw together today. It was so good!

I hope you’ll share what’s on your menu as well!
