ChaCha Chili
Beans and other legumes appear to be rich in minerals according to chemically testing for nutrient content.

Unless properly prepared, you are absorbing little of the nutrients in your legumes due to...
White Chili
Another great dish from a client! As with anything involving beans or other seeds, it is important to soak them at least overnight the day before.

For the Love of Larb Soup
Many years ago I had the honor of working with a General of the Laotian army. Somehow, his wife had fallen severely ill (my Laotian isn’t good enough to get the full details).
