I adore beans.
Just lust after beans.
Black, garbanzo, pinto, red, you name it. They’re inexpensive, filling, and they make me realize healthy and delicious are not mutually exclusive.
Here are the four bean recipes I love most:
2. Baked Falafel with Lemon Tahini Sauce
3. Spicy Garlic and Lime Black Bean Enchiladas
4. Slow Cooked Sweet Potato Chili
All of these look super delicious, but I’m positively drooling over the falafel! I love cooking with beans as well, and probably do so much more often than cooking with meat!
Thank you so much for these chickpea friendly recipes!
I went vegetarian over a year ago, and I don’t miss meat, in fact I am in love with every legume I have had the pleasure of meeting (and eating!). New ways to enjoy my little friends are always welcome. Thanks Andie.
I can’t wait to try the falafel and the black bean enchiladas! Yummy :)
wow, i want a big plate of each please and thank you!
I need to try the black bean burgers. I’ve been scared to give those a go when I see them because I’m afraid they’ll be dry. We’re not dijon fans, I assume you could use regular mustard?
I made your chili last week (w/out beef) and I LOVED it. Healthy comfort food that fills me up is the best. Those burgers look gooooooood….think I’ll try those this week.
These all look so good– I’m all about adapting meat-based recipes for my veggie lifestyle, but it’s also nice when no adaptation is needed. Thanks for making my mouth water for falafel at 10 am :)
If you make me any of those (and maybe some congo bars), then yes… I will stay for dinner ;-) Glad to have you back! I hope book writing is going well.
Those black bean burgers are insanely delicious.
Now I just have to try the other 3 :)
Mmm all of those recipes look absolutely delicious!
And as per usual your photos are beautiful :-)
I would love to make my own falafel, is it difficult?
And that sweet potato chili looks so tasty!
All of these look amazing! Especially intrigued by the lemon tahini sauce…
Thanks for this roundup. I love beans too and am always looking for new ways to use them. Looking forward to adding these to my repertoire!
LOVE beans! They’re such a great way to fill your belly. Your homemade falafel looks fantastic.
Have just been looking for some good bean recipes! Thanks!
MMMMMMM…falafel! So yummy! Must make this weekend…I’m craving it now!
I am so in love with you. I made the enchiladas lastnight and the chili tonight and I am seriously tempted to meet you in new York tomorrow just to hug you! They were FANTASTIC I am trying to lose weight for my wedding and all the low cal recipes I have had taste like I would rather eat a sponge.

I made the black bean burger today. It was so amazing!! I was so excited to sit down to relax and eat after a long day. I want more!
I tried the bean burger recipe a few days ago and I absolutely loved it! I’ve been trying to be a little healthier but was stuck for dinner ideas so this post is perfect. I’m trying the falafel next! Thank you :)
