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 whip my beans through the food processor!

Favorite bean, that is tough! I love chickpeas – tamari roasted are perfect on salads! Also love black beans, perfect in this casserole (http://iowagirleats.com/2012/04/26/the-i-dont-feel-like-making-dinner-dinner/) I veganized yesterday.

I gotta go with black beans because I can put them in almost anything, but lately I’m loving on white beans, too. they seem to go better in summer for some reason.

Well, that you are in such a recipe testing frenzy is great news for us – yay for new recipes coming up! ๐
Favorite bean? I love them all! If I had to choose one, today’s pick would be pinto beans – they’re soooo good!
