This Smoky Red Lentil Hummus is a bit of a game-changer for me! I love the standard hummus in almost all its forms and flavors, but it can feel a bit heavy. Not so with this light and airy Red Lentil Hummus.

When I lived in the Southwest, I used to miss “Baked Beans.” It seemed that anytime I ate out and ordered beans as a side, they were either Cowboy Beans Frijoles Charros or some kind of Barbecued Baked Beans.

Cowboy Caviar Salad
I just recently learned the history of Cowboy Caviar – along with the original recipe. The earliest recipes were basically pickled black-eyed peas with a bit of onion and garlic!

Simple dressings like this are so easy and inexpensive to make at home and there are no worries about strange additives.
