ceruleancorvidI’ve been cooking a lot this summer, and I thought I would document some of it before I go back to school and lose kitchen access in the fall. Here’s the first update!
A lot of the recipes I make come from Deb “smittenkitchen” Perelman, whose blog I love because of her focus on reproducibility (great for me, a lazy perfectionist) and the fact that she has a lot of recipes that are good for my attempts to eat heart healthier (veg focused, grain salads, etc etc) among the wide variety of things she posts.
Lately I have fallen in love with these black bean tacos. Which is weird, because her commentary on them is basically “eh, they’re ok, they’re pretty good, they’re not amazing.” But, add some garlic to those mashed beans? Some pickled red onions maybe? They are very good. I just have to get a couple cans of beans, some tortillas, and some Trader Joe’s coleslaw mix, plus the ever-present green onions that are always slowly dying in our veggie drawer, and bam!! Filling and crunchy and good. I have many ideas for riffs on these.
