Black Bean Chili Soup. Made this for our Thursday night dinner club and it was spicy and warm, just what was perfect for our colder days lately. I made 3 lbs. of dried beans, so let’s say we have leftovers for days!
Couscous, Crab, Tomato & Feta Cheese Salad. I kind of threw lots of things together for this. It’s probably more summery, but since True can’t have real crab, and some of us were having crab cakes, this was a good option on the dinner table.
Crab Cakes and Kale Crispies. Seriously so, so good! It’s a spin off this recipe, but I’ve learn to adapt it and make it my own. It’s not quite as golden brown as most crab cakes, but it’s cause ours isn’t fried, but baked. I think I’m going to make this again as an appetizer for our Christmas dinner.

Ben and I are trying to figure out our Christmas menu; we’re thinking of going with a fish dish. What’s on your Christmas dinner menu? Do you have some traditions or do you do something different each year?
are you making kimchi jjigae?!
(ps i miss you)
We are having my husbands parents with us this year for Christmas , we do the traditional dinner, with a full roast meal usually pork and chicken with roasted veges and then two desserts. I’m thinking of making a pavlova and creamed rice. We hope to do a big breakfast and then light nibbles through the day then dinner. My husband is a nurse and will be working Christmas Day, early day shift thankfully.
Simple and nutritious.
those beans look delicious!
