AllrecipesI have an enormous family and all of the men go trail riding several times a year and these beans are one of the things they look forward to. My aunts and I put together their favorite combination several years ago, and have it ready at their camp, and they are some happy cowboys! You can mix different beans to your liking (lima, kidney, etc.), but the boys in our family like this mixture the best.YummlyThis lasagna turned out really yummy!

The crispy fries and savory chili make for the ultimate comfort food, perfect for any occasion or just a cozy night in.Food NetworkGrowing up in Ranchi, a city in eastern India, Maneet Chauhan frequently traveled with her family by train, sometimes spending two or three days in the open-air cars. She didn’t mind the long trips: In train stations throughout India, vendors sell chaat, a broad term for savory street snacks, so every stop was an opportunity to taste new things. Decades later, the Chopped judge still thinks about those journeys. “I got a glimpse of the amazing diversity of Indian food,” she says. Her new cookbook, Chaat, is filled with recipes inspired by memories — like eating bhel puri at a historic Mumbai train station, or warming up with a Tibetan noodle soup called thukpa during a winter ride through Guwahati. “I’ve had some of these dishes only once or twice, but they made a profound impact on my life,” she says. “Years later I still remember them.”Food52I've been thinking a lot about the gluten free lifestyle lately. Part of it has been because I've been doing some cooking for my friend Terri who found out she needs to be GF just before getting badly hurt in a riding accident. Girlfriend needed some treats and it's become a very interesting puzzle for me to try and see what things might be whipped up for her. Terri (before going GF) also made some of the best cookies I've ever eaten. Her cookies are like crack to me and that's going some seeing as I'm not a big indulger in baked goods. I do a certain amount of gluten free cooking naturally, as Indian food by and large suits that lifestyle. There are alternatives to the common roti and naan made from non-wheat based flour such as besan, rice flour, coconut flour and jowhar (sorghum) flour. Beyond that however I'm lost. What Western style baking I've done has never been GF and is fairly limited. However even I can't help but notice the trend toward GF products on the shelves on my local markets. And then I read Atlantic Magazine which brought up a whole lot of reasons and arguments for the gluten free lifestyle even if one doesn't have celiac disease. So there was that. I have to add here that as far as I know, no one in my house has celiac disease, but it seemed like a good idea to give all this stuff a further look see, and not just for Terri and her lost crack cookies. Wait a minute, that sounds terrible...but you know what I mean. Cruising around on line the other day, I noticed a tweet from the go-to guru for all things GF Glutenfreegirl. On her webpage she had an absolutely mouth watering photo of a big, big bowl of pasta. Being raised in an Italian household, I grew up eating all sorts of pasta from the sublime (my Nonna's) to the ridiculous (Mom's Chef Boy-Are-Dee in the box). I have always felt I've done pasta...thoroughly. Alan however, growing up in a Jewish household in Westport Connecticut... not so much. He loves his pasta and it's always a favorite treat for him when we eat out. When I had my dental surgery last fall I cooked ahead and froze pasta sauce for him so he could fix his own Italian feast while I was on enough drugs to make a Borgia's eyes bug out. Normally I ignore big photos of pasta but there was something about that picture, and knowing that what was on that plate was gluten free. This looked like real pasta. I showed the page to Alan. "How does that look to you?" I asked. "This is a trick question right? What's wrong with it?" "Nothing, Doesn't it look good...mmmmmm" "You're up to something" He's lived with me too long. "Okay, it's gluten free" He was immediately suspicious but I looked up the company that made the pasta Jovial Foods. "Look!" I said. "It's made in Italy... and not just Italy but Lucca, Italy where my grandmother was born! Let's try it!" "Well...." But Alan loves his pasta too much to turn down any opportunity to try some, so I was off to Whole Foods to see if they carried it. They did. There it was. Shelves of gluten free pasta made from brown rice flour in Italy by guys that have been making pasta a long, long time. This stuff had to be the real deal. There were several shapes available. I bought a box of penne rigate. I decided I would try out this GF experiment using a tried and true pasta salad recipe that I've been making for years. I called up some friends and said come to our house tonight for pasta. I did not tell them it was gluten free. Yes, I am a sneak.
