Cranberry (Borlotti) Beans, Kale, And MushroomsMade In An Instant Pot Electric Pressure CookerEasy Vegan And Gluten-Free Meal

Image
Cranberry beans are a great source of protein and fiber. Follow Foods For Long Life on Facebook and Pinterest . Preview my eBook, Health Begins in the Kitchen . Beans and Greens "Beans and greens" is one of my absolute favorite and versatile meals. We always have tons of kale in the garden and a pantry-full of various dried beans. Spinach, chard, escarole, collards, mustard and turnip greens are also excellent "greens" to make with this dish (cooking times will vary depending on the selection of beans and greens). I usually make a big pot for dinner and serve left-overs for lunch. Beans and greens can be eaten over a cooked grain, pasta or as is. And now with my Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker, it's easier than ever to make this healthy and delicious dish. The Mind Diet, a diet used in a study to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's, recommends eating six or more servings of greens and three servings of beans per week.  Cranberry (Borlotti) Beans This year I...

Instant Pot Rice With Butternut SquashVegan And Gluten Free

A simple way to get more veggies into your family's diet! It's also a great gluten free side dish for the holidays. Follow Foods For Long Life on Facebook and Pinterest . Did you know the Instant Pot has a Rice Button? For the first year I owned my Instant Pot, I didn't use the Rice button a single time. I cooked just about everything using the Manual button.

For the rice, I prefer Tamaki Haiga , the short grain white rice that retains the germ.

It's Time To Make Serrano Pepper Hot SauceSalsa Picante Makes A Great Holiday Gift!

Turn those garden Serrano peppers into hot sauce. Follow Foods For Long Life on Facebook and Pinterest . Fall Brings Peppers Fall in Northern California is generally the time to pull out your summer crops and plant broccoli, kale, beets, lettuce, garlic, and other winter crops. The one plant that is still in the ground, however, and that's always late to produce is our pepper crop.  But now it's time to pick them before the weather turns bad so I picked all the serrano peppers and most of the red pimento and poblano peppers. But what do you do with 3 pounds of serranos when only one is needed to flavor a dish? Well, let's make hot sauce! I blogged a hot sauce recipe a few years ago using jalapeños and serranos but this year I'm using serrano peppers combined with a sweet red pimento pepper. It's still turned out super hot, but the sweet pepper cut the heat a little bit and gave it a nice flavor. Sweet red pimento peppers cut the heat a bit and adds a lovely flavor...
