In pursuit of our goal to shift to a more plant-based diet, I decided to swap the beef in our tacos for seasoned beans. I kept the ingredients fresh and to a minimum, helping bring their flavors out to the fullest. Join my amazing sous chef Sammy and me for our Taco Tuesday Extravaganza!

This recipe is a spin on a bacon and beans dish that I snagged from my sister-in-law. Who doesn’t love bacon and beans?! They’re delicious and hit the spot every time. I wanted to find a plant-based option… and so a veggie bean dish was born! It hits all the right flavor notes and has been a huge hit with the family.

Who doesn’t enjoy tender, delicious, melt-in-your-mouth short ribs with buttery mashed potatoes? Braised and thrown in a slow cooker for most of the day with some rosemary, this will make your mouth water just thinking about it. Whip up those mashed potatoes, ladle on the gravy and drop in the short-rib … Deee-licious!
