Sunday Dinner: Black Bean and Roasted Corn Salad
For dinner tonight, serve a hearty, Mexican inspired salad. There are several steps to this recipe, but taking the time to prepare each component makes for a fresh, filling dish. The corn and black beans are roasted with onions and garlic to maximize the flavor.
Cince de Mayo Side: Corn & Black Bean Salad
This super fresh and deliciously fragrant salad is a wonderful side dish to quesadillas, enchiladas, or carnitas. A tex mex delight, this recipe can be made with frozen corn or later in the summer with corn cut right off the cob. Bring to a potluck or picnic and make it a day in advance, so the flavors have time to meld together.
Healthy Recipe: Corn and Black Bean Salad
Since fresh corn is still in season but won't be for much longer, why not use it to make this quick and simple dish. Honestly, it'll only take you about 15 minutes to make it. It makes a great side dish, a topping on burgers, or I like to scoop it onto my garden salad.
What Would You Make?
Here's the scenario: you are at home and hungry for food. You have to cook up something scrumptious for you and your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse/child/friend, but the ingredients you have on hand are limited.
You have canned black beans, frozen corn, and gouda cheese.
Come Party With Me: Campfire Fiesta — Menu
When my friends and I go camping, the food planning comes first. Once we've figured out who's making every appetizer, cocktail, main dish, and dessert, we focus on other details like who's bringing bug spray and how to get where we're going.
So for this week's campfire fiesta, I'm forgoing invitations in favor of a flurry of emails to work out the logistics.
Sunday Dinner: Oven-Crisp Black Bean and Corn Flautas
I'm really sorry if the weather in your neck of the woods isn't getting any nicer, because out here in San Francisco we've had some pretty nice weather (it did rain the other day, but bbq season is definitely on its way). When the weather gets nice, my brain immediately goes from big roasts to something light and easy. So when I went searching for tonight's Sunday Dinner, I definitely steered clear of the large roasted all day meals and decided on something simpler instead.
Reader Recipe: Black Bean Tortilla Soup

Fast & Easy Dinner: Barbecued Chicken Burritos
On your way home from work this afternoon, pick up a rotisserie chicken and whole wheat tortillas. When you arrive, take some help from your pantry and make this delicious burrito for dinner. Filled with canned beans, yellow corn, barbecue sauce, and sour cream, it's hearty and scrumptious.
Not Your Regular Nachos: Nachos Frescos
Although incredibly delicious, nachos are deceptively filling making them a dish that's easy to overeat. Since Cinco de Mayo is next week, I wanted to make a less-heavy variation of nachos that would allow for maximum margarita consumption. To make the nachos lighter — I have no clue if they're healthier, we'll have to ask FitSugar — I baked the tortillas instead of frying them and replaced the meat with black beans.
