Bean's Bistro: Chicken Mole
http://beansbistro.blogspot.com/2008/10/chicken-mole.html
Monday, October 13, 2008. As I stated back then, this is not a dish made by grounding up small ground-dwelling mammals. This is a Moe-LAY- much different. And this time it was fairly traditional and oh so tasty! I served this over white rice with some sweet potatoes that I roasted with a little brown sugar and olive oil. It would have also been great in corn tortillas or just on its own! Based off various recipes at AllRecipes.com. 1 Onion, chopped. 1 Tomato, chopped. 1 tsp 1 tsp. Cumin. Add in the onion...

Bean's Bistro: Eat to the Beat: Retro Coca-Cola Jello Mold
http://beansbistro.blogspot.com/2008/09/eat-to-beat-retro-coca-cola-jello-mold.html
Monday, September 29, 2008. Eat to the Beat: Retro Coca-Cola Jello Mold. AKA Not So Attractive Flesh Gelatin. AKA Very tasty, but very ugly dessert in my fridge we just can't get excited enough about to actually eat. Ok, so I really had such a great idea for this latest round of Elly's Eat to the Beat. There is a verse that spoke to me for this event:. I think you're slipping. Cooking with Coke, now that was something different. And what about the retro aspect of diving into old school dishes? All of tha...

Bean's Bistro: July 2008
http://beansbistro.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 24, 2008. I probably first made it 7 or 8 years ago when I first got the stone and it is in fairly regular rotation in my kitchen. From Pampered Chef, 'Season's Best Recipe Collection 1999 Fall/ Winter'. 5-6 Large Burrito Sized Tortillas (I always buy flour and don’t know if corn would be good.). 2/3 Can Refried Beans (I use fat-free or vegetarian style.). 1/2 C to 3/4 C. Sour Cream (Again, I use fat free.). 1 Tbsp. Chili Powder. 2 tsp Cumin Powder. 1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder. Ok, so slather o...

Bean's Bistro: September 2008
http://beansbistro.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2008. Oh, pardon, I got a little excited there! Fall is my favorite season and nothing heralds in the season better than pumpkin foods. After my disastrous jell-o mold, I thought I'd get back up on the horse with the new silicone bundt pan. It didn't matter though- it was delicious! We've been munching it for both breakfast and for dessert. Sorry coworkers- I was going to bring it in to share, but I think we're going to gobble it down ourselves! Pumpkin Bundt Cake with Orange Glaze.

Bean's Bistro: March 2008
http://beansbistro.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 17, 2008. A Rich Treat- Guinness Ice Cream. Nothing says St. Paddy's Day. Like a pint of the black stuff, Guinness. Yessiree, I'll dance a little Irish jig for you to enjoy a nice cold black brew! Of course we were going to have Guinness with our meal on March 17th- but I wanted to do something special to cap the evening off right. After some searching, I found an interesting recipe for Guinness ice cream at Boston.com. This, certainly, was what I had been looking for! Overall, a triumph!

Bean's Bistro: January 2008
http://beansbistro.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 27, 2008. To continue our Spanish feast for New Years Eve, we tried our hand at seafood paella. Wow, what a feast- we were SO stuffed! We spared no expense either- we had lots of meats and I bought the ever expensive saffron. It was a perfect team effort- lots of chopping and stirring and timing decisions to be made. Tons of fun! 2 Chicken Breasts, cut into bite sized pieces. 1 Spanish Churizo Sausage, cut into slices. 1 Onion, chopped. 1 Green Pepper, chopped. 1 Garlic Clove, minced.

Bean's Bistro: Sweet & Sour Tofu
http://beansbistro.blogspot.com/2008/10/sweet-sour-tofu.html
Monday, October 13, 2008. Sweet and Sour Tofu. In a continuing effort to make more vegetarian dishes, I'm trying to incorporate more tofu into our diet. Adam just loves tofu. I'm not sure why. I mean it is very versatile and the texture is ok, but I don't see why it is so great. That's ok though- I am happy to prepare and eat it even I have no passion for it! Sweet and Sour Tofu. Based from AllRecipes.com. 1 Package Extra Firm Tofu. 1 Onion, chopped. 1 Clove of Garlic, minced. 1 Bell Pepper, chopped.

Bean's Bistro: February 2008
http://beansbistro.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 28, 2008. Faithful blog readers, you might be wondering why my subject is so excited about something as commonplace as brownies. Brownies- a classic dessert, simple in its existence and a basic for any cook/ baker. Well, it was never basic for me, so leave me alone! This past weekend I looked that dessert horse in the eye again, got back in the saddle, and amazingly enough I made delicious brownies- hoorah indeed! 1/2 C (1 stick) Butter, melted. 1 tsp Vanilla Extract. 1/3 C Cocoa Powder.

Bean's Bistro: June 2008
http://beansbistro.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 29, 2008. Homegrown Gourmet 9 - Celtics Win! My precious little blogging event, is celebrating round 9 with a delightful theme of PASTA! My friend Megan at Joy Through Cooking. Is hosting this round. I was really excited at the idea of basing a recipe on pasta- we eat lots of spaghetti and ziti and all that great stuff. But as I got thinking about it more, well, what the heck is a New England pasta recipe! And flavorful, and I thought it was tender and just the right amount of seafood. W...
