Go Meat-Free With Black Bean Burgers
A couple of weeks ago I catered a dinner for a group of hungry hikers. The crew spent a Saturday trekking the 14-mile round-trip up and down Mount Diablo and the meal was the shining light at the end of the walk. My sister, the leader, requested that I prepare a hearty yet meat-free vegetarian meal that included black beans.

Monday's Leftovers: Black Bean Croquettes With Salsa
So you've got leftover legumes in the pantry. Don't pigeonhole canned beans by turning to the same staples, like chili, tacos, or beans and rice; instead, venture out of your realm to try another low-maintenance dish, like these black bean croquettes, topped with zesty salsa fresca.
Not only are they a nice break from the monotony of Winter stews, but they're also healthful and inexpensive to prepare.
Kashi Entrées: Black Bean Mango
I recently tried a new flavor of the frozen entrées from Kashi (they're the company that makes those TLC Chewy Granola Bars I love). I loved the Pesto Pasta Primavera so much, and was excited to try another vegetarian option - Black Bean Mango.

It's tinged with the smoky aromas of chipotle peppers and cumin, and I'm excited that I won't have to worry about frantically making it before the event, since my slow cooker's got it covered!
Quinoa Salad Is Healthy but Full of Satisfying Flavor
If I find myself with a free Sunday night, I like to prepare some meals for the week.

Since I'm continuing with my ongoing efforts to eat healthy, last Sunday I threw together a hearty and filling black bean and quinoa salad.
Monday's Leftovers: Black Bean Veggie Burgers
Yesterday I gave you guys the recipe for some simple oven-crisp black bean and corn flautas. I also told you to hang on to some of the filling - although I'm betting it was pretty impossible, those flautas are pretty darn tasty. However if you did manage to hang on to the filling, then you're in for a treat.
Homemade Refried Black Beans
This story was written by member lauren and comes from the Kitchen Goddess group in the YumSugar Community.I love Mexican food but I must admit I have always bought canned refried beans.
