1. Eat more beans, please.

Lots of great reaction to my recipe for bean soup and folks asking how, why, and lots of other great questions. Check out Beans Is How, and check out this cool new column about beans that I found for you.

2. Incredible spice blends for cooking all summer long

Simply put, these are my favorites for obvious reasons. Your inside cooking life needs the best ranch dressing ever made with my Lemon & Shallots blend (use 3T of the spice mix, the juice of a lemon, ½ cup of sour cream and ½ cup of mayonnaise), to grill rubs and more. Each blend transports you to a different culture and place in the world if you shut your eyes.
