Black Bean Breakfast Anniversary or Something

Dinners for Winners has just turned two years old! I’m happy and a bit proud. Sometimes my sister texts me from New York with a photo of dinner and says “we made your ______ for dinner last night and we loved it!” and nothing could make me happier. I consider this success in the fullest.

I’ve even received kind comments over the last few months from some of my most favorite, respected and admired food bloggers — can you believe they’ve even come by this little space? To me, this is so humbling. The first food blog I ever read was Smitten Kitchen, and when weshook Deb’s hand a year ago, I thought of all the hearts (and stomachs) she has filled with her enthusiasm for food and home cooking. She is the game-changer. She makes it happen; suddenly, anyone can make a lemon layer cake because she’s done all the research to guide us along the way and through any strange happenings that might worry us. She makes it simple! While not on her professional level of awesomeness, I so enjoy the time I put into this little project. I’m thankful for the friendships I’ve made also, as some of you really read along faithfully!

When considering what I might post for this occasion, I easily settled on something we have been enjoying repeatedly in our kitchen, something nourishing and delicious hailing from another food blogger, whom I find so inspirational and ardently passionate about healthful cooking. Oh, and something that can be breakfast or dinner, which is my fave! Sara of Sprouted Kitchen and her husband Hugh put out a gorgeous cookbook last year that I can’t get enough of; lots of pretty vegetables, Sara’s warm voice, handsome photographs and well thought-out, simple recipes that taste so good. Love Sara and her constantly refreshing recipes (she’s even working on a new book!) that remind us how perfectly gratifying it is to eat right. This breakfast/dinner is one of her gems.
