We can obsess over a quick protein salad, can’t we? We can. And this one is speedy, beany, herby and crunchy. What’s not to love. I didn’t roast these chickpeas, but get on with that if it fuels you. I looooove roasted chickpeas to freaking death, but my impatience won this time. Jars open, beans […]

Rosemary Chicken and White Beans
Another weeknight wonder, coming full-steam at ya! I have a thing for chicken. Chicken thighs. And rosemary. Fresh. And lemon. Lots of it. And creamy cannellini beans. I’ll take it all. So let’s whip up an incriminatingly simple weeknight dish that will have you in the fetal position. But I’m not dramatic about it or […]
White Bean, Tomato and Onion Salad with an Herb Dressing
Happy 4th! Do you need a last-minute salad for today? You need a last-minute salad for today. I have a last-minute salad for today. And hark this, zero cooking. We’ll zip up a simple and pungent herb dressing with a little bit of garlic and violently toss it over a can of creamy cannellini beans, […]
White Bean Salad on Toast
You know when people ask you what you could eat every day forever and ever? For me, it’s this. It is this white bean salad on toast. Right here. This. On one hand, it’s embarrassingly simple. And is precisely why it should be happening this shy of all the time. On another, there’s no real […]
Brothy Beans with Crusty Bread
I don’t know how brothy beans aren’t considered life’s greatest hack, but I’m here to proclaim it here and now. First of all, they go with anything. ANYTHING. Chicken, sausages, steaks. I served mine with bacon and pineapple chicken sausages and there was not a dry eye in the house. Secondly, they take a handful […]
White Fish and Bean Salad
It looks fancy, but honestly it’s fish and beans. Just fish and beans. But we made it fashion. Also my fish completely flaked in the pan while I was searing, but I’m still a good person. Also also this takes 15 minutes to make. Woo hoo! You in? Let us peepeth. And listen, you can […]
Mediterranean Bean Salad
Let’s eat some beans! (my eight year olds would insert a toot emoji, if there was such a thing.) Spring is in ten days. Not that we’d even know it with the five-to-seven inches of snow falling outside my window at this very moment. But let’s say it together just to feel something inside our […]
Smoky White Bean and Tomato Soup with Bacon
We haven’t slurped in a while, have we. This soup. THIS SOUP is weep worthy. It’s smoky. It’s bean-y. It’s bacon-y. It’s tomato-y. It’s like, all the rustic in one pot. One pot! See how I take care of you? Never mind. Let us peepeth. Okay, two things: I forgot to label the onion in […]
Braised Beans with Tomatoes and Pepperoni over Crusty Bread
Beans! Braised beans. On toast. We’re so British right now. But like, look at that crisped up pepperoni. We’re going places, you guys. First of all, you should know that this was surprisingly a total hit at my house for my kids on my street in my town in this state. Complete shock to me. […]
Seared Green Beans with a Lemon Butter Parmesan Sauce
And a crunchy buttery panko topping (!!), but I feel like that long title would have given you a stroke. So much butter! It was election day when I made this so I just went for it. But it’s real butter, none of that fake alien mess in a tub. So yeah, all the butter. […]
