I Heart Cooking Clubs: Holy Frijoles

Sunday, June 10, 2012

Holy Frijoles!

Beans! So versatile, so easy to use, so..... cheap! Yep, they deliver nutrition, great protein and they don't break the bank!

So how are you going to use frijoles in this week's cooking club dish?

Tangy black beans as a side for grill night?

Hearty bean soup with rustic bread?

As part of a delicious filling for an awesome sandwich or wrap?

Or even for dessert!

Whip up your Frijoles (beans) dish from one of Rick Bayless' recipes and link up here with Mr. Linky on or by Sunday, June 17th.

Need help with participation guidelines? Check out our Welcome post.

So come on, get your bean on!

Meanwhile, check out how we Wrapped it Up last week!

You Choose the Recipes!

In the interest of freedom of choice and to maximize the fun, we have organized this cooking club on themes. How you interpret the theme is up to you. If you feel that you would like nothing better than a three-pound bison burger, with all the fixin's, on a spa day.. nobody will challenge you on it!

Once the theme is announced, feel free to peruse our current chef's recipes from cookbooks or online, to find one that you think suits the theme and your tastes. Have fun with the recipe, change what you like, and link into that week's post.

Have some great ideas for themes? We love to hear your ideas! Feel free to email any of the hosts or leave your ideas in the comments section.
