Whats For Dinner Next Week: Southwest White Bean Stew
Come on in this house, it is so cold outside, sit right down and get warm here by the fire. I'll get you some hot coco and a piece of spice cake. I am just finishing my menu for next week. We have had so much rich food through the holidays I am ready for something very simple and easy.

Too bad I can't scratch and sniff these amazing delicious food photos of yours!! Yum.
ReplyDeleteWOW, your menu is awesome!! Everything sounds so good. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that my family loves it when they see taco bar night on the menu so they'd wholly approve of your Friday night menu. I'm really interested in the southwest brulee because I love butternut squash and am always looking for new things to do with it.
ReplyDeleteLoving the ham hock in your white bean soup! That's comfort food in my house! Thanks for sharing with the Hearth and Soul hop this week. Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteYour Southwestern Bean Stew sound delicious and just the right thing to counteract the cold weather we are in the midst of here in the midwest.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog yesterday!
We love soup on cold winter days and this one looks great! (And I'm pretty sure there's a ham hock in my freezer.) Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteI love bean soup! My grandmother and my mom made it all the time when I was a child, along with homemade biscuits. As much as I enjoyed it I never learned how to make it for myself. Thanks so much for showing me how!
ReplyDeleteYum, Miz Helen. Love beans, especially white beans. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteYou'd better watch out, Miz Helen. When you say that you're serving a meal with beans and ham hocks, you're in danger of having me show up on your doorstep with an empty bowl and a sheepish grin on my face :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with the Hearth and Soul hop.
Delicious! Thanks for joining me for CPW. I'm looking forward to what you have to say this week.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the code for the badge? I could not get it to come up.
