For Grace, who passed away 30 years ago!
Spicy Black Bean Soup
I used my 2 quart crockpot for this recipe
1 1/4 cup dry black beans, soaked o/n
1 1/4 cup bell peppers, sliced
2 cups vegetable broth
1 jalapeno, seeded & diced
1 chunk red onion, diced
1 tsp garlic, minced
1/2 Tbs chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Soak black beans overnight. Drain black beans, rinse, and place in crock with remaining ingredients, stirring to combine. Cover and cook on high 4 hours. Reduce heat to low, and continue cooking an additional 2 hours, or until you are ready to eat.

It was delicious, and went perfectly with the gluten free flat bread I made earlier in the day, using a blend of brown rice flour, sorgham flour, tapioca starch, almond meal, and guar gum. Mmmmmm! Mmmmmm! Mmmmmmm!
I also enjoyed a Vegan Greek Salad from 3 Brothers Pizza (and I am in the process of making my own tofu feta cheese as I type this post!!). I'm happily stuffed and ready to kick back with the herd for the remainder of this delightful day! Even more delightful is that I am off tomorrow and have plans to see the Muppets this week (finally!).
Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and holiday. I spent some time with family for the Christmas holiday as that is what they observe, but I also celebrated Winter Solstice, first attending a ceremony in NYC on December 21st and then doing my own celebrations until the December 23rd. Speaking of december 23rd, I was a bit of a hazard that day in that I burned my left hand rather badly on a scalding hot cast iron skillet and then proceeded to fall down the steps after tripping my camouflage *chuckles* lunch bag! I took both unfortunate events (as well as my suffering bank account and the days overall poor tone) as a sign to stay in that night. It proved to be the right decision and I slept rather well. But anywho, it's time for me to dash off so on a final note, no holiday is complete without my all time favorite movie from back when I was a young lass, thus I leave off with this:
