UPDATE: Contest now closed, winners being chosen! ๐
Hi friends! Since I’ve returned from Summerfest I have been testing new recipes something fierce (actually, was doing the same before I left too). In fact, I am testing new things so often that I rarely get time to sit and format the recipes and share them with you.
And, I want to post with photos… and it takes me FOREVER to get a proper food photo with our schedules with the girls and simply keeping up with being a mom.
So, here’s the thing. I’m buying some time before I post again – at least a few days. Time to get some recipes formatted, and start this plant-powered kids’ series! I figure a cookbook giveaway does the trick… right? ๐


I am giving away TWO copies of LTEV… and TWO copies of ed&bv! That’s four winners, so your chances are good here to snag a new cookbook! (and if you already have one or the other and want to choose one of my other cookbooks, can do!)
To enter:
1) Comment on THIS post. How about you share your favorite bean!
2) To grab a second entry, follow me on twitter (if you haven’t already) and retweet this post OR “like” my facebook page (if you haven’t already) and share the status update that links to this post. (I will see who shares the post through facebook) ***UPDATE: I will track those that have already shared on facebook and twitter, but if you can, please come back and comment a second time on this post with “tweet” or “facebook” as your names here and on twitter/fb may differ!
Contest open to residents of Canada and the US. I will draw the winner once I get out of the kitchen. ๐

I LOVE fava beans! They are so tasty and easy to prepare for a quick meal. Open a can, heat, add some cumin, fresh tomatoes, parsley, and a bit of lemon juice and serve with pita bread and some veggies. Yum! Just discovered your site and have tried a couple of recipes that have been great! I follow you on FB too and don’t yet have any cookbooks. Pick me!

I’d love to have a copy of your cookbook. Your recipes are great. Thanks so much!

One of my favorite beans is the scarlet runner bean – it’s originally from South America but the place where it is used on a daily basis is South Styria in Austria. It is a big beautiful bean, and they serve as part of salads and by itself with some shallots but always with roasted pumpkin seed oil. It’s outrageously good and we are now growing them in our garden. It’s worth it alone for the red flowers that attract bees and humming birds.

I love them all!

It’s gotta be those odd shaped little chickpeas!
