Thanks for hosting! Can’t wait to participate!
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!
Wow, everything looks fantastic. I’m trying to get more legumes into my diet, so I really appreciate these ideas!
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.
