I have a legume craft. We did it with the Girl Scouts and I plan on posting it soon. I’ll link it to you as soon as I get it up. Oh yes, and Dr. Oz wants us eating those beans! Great fiber content, excellent for the body! 🙂 Happy May Day!

I never met a bean I didn’t love, I will try to create a dish this month … your pics have me drooling!
My brain is already turning with ideas. =)
Not only is my mouth watering over all of these delectable bean dishes, but over your recipes and photos, as well. I’m so glad I found you! The Pumpkin Crusted Goat Cheese.. the gorgeous wedding.. and your love affair with CHEESE! Your blog has made my evening. You probably hear this all of the time, but your blog is wonderful! Keep up the inspirational work- I’ll be back to visit.
I’m in legume heaven here! I’ll have to see if I can come up with something this month. BTW, you have such a sweet brother…Can I borrow him??
Well, I must take part in this!
Pasulj (pinto beans with hamhocks) was always a favorite of mine & I've been craving it lately. Since I hardly cook it will be good to do this. Will keep you posted.
That nori heart is so beautiful! xox
I keep finding myself wanting to lick the monitor!!! what great pics!
Mary
LOL! I agree with above. I want to lick the monitor, too.
Very cool you’ll be hosting this month.

Okay, I know for sure I already have the dish and pic taken for this round of the event. I did it for the previous edition but it did not qualify as an appetizer or dessert.
I’m glad to see this announcement. I’ll participate! Have a great time in Paris. Take tons and tons and tons of pictures! I can’t wait to see them!
Heehee, I don’t think i’d be brave enough for that Lori Lynn! you are the cook enough for both of us, would you look at these gorgeous dishes you’ve just shown! oh man, how could I still be hungry when I just ate. I love coming here.
♥
Wow, everything looks fantastic. I’m trying to get more legumes into my diet, so I really appreciate these ideas!
Wow!! What a wonderful collection.. I am not sure which would tempt me first.. 🙂 I love beans but I think cannellini are my favorite.. well maybe lentils.. of course black eyed peas get me too. Oh my gosh.. you could create a restaurant called “Legume” and it would probably be a hit.. especially with all your delicious recipes!
Thanks for hosting! Can’t wait to participate!
