Ingredient: Grains and Dried Legumes


Zucchini Tian

This one is brought to us and tested by fellow Springdellian Mandy C. She found it in a cookbook that she picked up in France and has been making it ever since. It calls for gruyere cheese but Parmesan works as well. A simple and delicious one. Thanks, Mandy!


White Bean and Swiss Chard Soup

I wish I could take credit for this one, but it’s adapted from Gwyneth Paltrow’s clean eating recipe collection called “It’s All Good”. Guess what? She’s right! This buttery rich soup is full of flavor and none of the bad stuff. It’s also a great use for all that slow cooker veggie broth we’ve been making from the veggie scraps!
It’s also a very flexible recipe ingredient-wise. No leeks? No problem! No chard? Just about any other leafy green will do! Canned or prepped dried beans work here. Make this one your own and enjoy!


Strawberry Bread

Fellow Springdellian Lisa Simons-Kearns baked this delicious recipe inspired by Ellen Rainey’s recipe on All Recipes. Here is Lisa’s version, which cuts down on the sugar a bit while increasing the strawberries. Thanks for sharing, Ellen and Lisa!
