Three-Bean Chili
Happy New Year, babes! Hopefully 2021 isn’t the trash-fire that 2020 was for, oh, roughly the majority of humanity. I for one am determined to make the best of it, and to do everything I can to ensure my own health, wellness and success. That means working hard, eating plenty of whole, healthy plants, and […]

I think I had some vague idea that they were either the staple of hippy communes or old-world peasants, but in my small-town naivety I couldn’t be sure. Shame to my childishness. Lentils are actually considered one of humanity’s oldest food sources, […]
