Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.

In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

Black Bean Soup ~ page 41

This is a very complex tasting soup even though it is so simple. Be careful with the cayenne pepper, maybe go light if you have kids eating it. I had to water my kid's bowls down a little. The apple cider vinegar adds a great tang to the soup so don't skip it. I garnished mine with sour cream. Green onions would have been nice too. This freezes really well, so you can make it even if you aren't cooking for 6 people. --Carissa
