Red & Black Beans

I'm so sad these‪ are gone already! I decided to do things a little different this time and it turned fantastic! I usually do this the traditional way in a pot, make everything separate, season it, yada! Not this time. 

(My manager actually went home the other day to make this because she liked it so much after I gave her a taste! She used turkey italian sausage, which is also an option.)

I took the italian sausage out of the casing and browned it like any other ground meat. I had some leftover frozen pico de gallo, I added that. I added some frozen cilantro and once everything was thawed I added the beans. I strained the red beans but not the black. I heated the beans through and that was pretty much it. I only added a slight sprinkling of California blend garlic pepper seasoning because I couldn't imagine having a dish that was not seasoned at all! (it truly didn't need it, I was OCD-ing). It tasted so good I never got around to making any rice to go with it. I suggest using brown rice to make it extra healthy. White rice or yellow rice (rice with turmeric or saffron) are also very good! 
I use 0% Greek Yogurt (predominantly Chobani or Fage) because I can not have sour cream.

*Lactose free people, for whatever reason through a ton of trial and error I found I can have just about "any" 0% no/non fat dairy product if it doesn't say "lactose free"

Homemade Seasonings

I found this on Pinterest. Several things I do miss about being allergy free. So happy they can be duplicated at home Make sure the minced onions are JUST onions. I personally would use kosher salt. Use raw sugar. Instead of sour cream use 0% greek yogurt. 

Homemade Taco Sauce

This is nice and uncomplicated! You know the only thing I'd change is the salt and make it kosher, other than that this recipe is clean. I haven't made it yet but I will the next time I need taco sauce! Homemade things are better!

Hough Bakery - butter cookies

Hough Bakery By  Gail Greenberg   &   Diane Rolfe Hough Bakery was an integral  part of me and my family's lives, (most people in Cleveland for that matter) I was heartbroken when they closed. I have  always remembered the cookies and doughnuts from this magical bakery. Their products were like nothing I had ever had before (and it was extra  magical because I was so little/young) I have been searching for about 30 years for something similar - no luck... but, thank goodness there are a few recipes floating around the internet! Unfortunately  even with Archie's being open, my food afflictions will not allow  me to enjoy those old time favorites. Luckily, converting is what I do and that's what this site is about so I  will switch some things  around and see how it turns out! The recipe below is just ONE of my all time favorites, please enjoy! Memories of a signature blue-and-white, string-tied cake box filled with a streusel coffee cake, hot cross buns, stick
