Yummy Black Bean Recipe - Pineapple Rum Black Beans

Here's a black bean recipe that I prepared for lunch on the weekend. I had just cooked a big batch of black beans in my pressure cooker so turned to my copy of Kathy Hester's "The Great Vegan Bean Book" to find some ideas. I was hungry and wanted something extra tasty and satisfying to go with the big salad I was planning.

I guess you could say that the recipe is Caribbean/Cuban inspired as it has pineapple and rum in it. The cool thing is that I happened to have pineapple-flavored rum in my liquor cabinet, and I have no idea where it came from! At Hester's recommendation I also cooked her recipe for coconut lime mashed sweet potatoes on which I placed the beans.

Here's a picture I took to give you an idea of how it looked. I had already eaten half when I thought that I just had to share this recipe and needed a picture, so had to tidy up the plate a little bit for the photo. LOL!

Flourless Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

In my last post on making soy milk at home I mentioned that you are going to end up with soy bean pulp, which is known as "okara" in Japanese. It's full of soy protein and fiber as well as calcium, iron, and riboflavin, so it just seems such a waste to throw it away. Correction: it is a waste to throw it away!

Huge volumes of okara are left over from the commercial production of soy milk and tofu, most of which is fed to cows and pigs because for some reason people seem to prefer to eat okara only after it's been turned into the flesh of an animal. But we are not about to feed the okara left over from our soy-milk-making efforts to the pigs when it can curl our hair.

We have experimented with a few ways to use our okara - add it to oatmeal for breakfast, add it to soup, or substitute it for 1/3 of the flour in any recipe. But our favorite thing is to use it to make chocolate chip cookies. Is it any wonder when we are such chocoholics! The result is a healthy cookie,…

Making Soy Milk at Home

For whatever reason, I have always preferred most things plain rather than flavored, and the same goes for the non-dairy milks: make it plain for me! Hold the vanilla! Actually I like it unadulterated, GMO-free, and organic. And it can be hard to find and expensive. Yes, I'm hard to please! You should see what I want for Christmas!

Read the label on the box of your plain soy or almond milk and you will discover that it's not as plain as you thought and has other stuff with long fancy chemically-sounding names added to it.

So what's a country boy lost in the big city to do but take things in hand and start making his own organic, non-GMO, unadulterated soy milk at home. Duh! I had heard of a friend who had a soy milk maker thing-a-ma-jig and that sounded like a gadget to me, and as much as I like "plain", I LOVE gadgets. So a quick search of Amazon turned up this thing called a Soyajoy G4 Soy Milk Maker. I H-A-D to get one! So I did! Of course!.

It's so super…
