Ok, seriously. I'm at a loss and need some help.
My friend Beth is leaving for a month long trip around India and is having a little potluck shindig on Saturday evening so we can all wish her safe travels before she leaves. Normally I'm pretty good at bringing along a winning dish or dessert to these types of events but this time I have no clue. My creative cooking juices just aren't flowing and I want to do something new. So, I'm putting it out there to gather some ideas.
Here are a few "rules."
- It has to be from scratch. (Sorry, picking up hummus and chips on the way there just 'aint my style. No judgement to those who do).
- It has to be dairy free. (Read my post "Ditching Dairy" to find out why)
- It has to be vegetarian. (For my non meat-eating friends.)
- It has to be healthy, of course! (As if vegetarian and dairy free aren't already healthy enough :)
- It shouldn't take more than an hour to make from start to finish.
Thanks!

what about a rice dish? Just something simple like simmering some onions and garlic in some olive oil, then throw in come black bean, pinto beans, and kidney beans, some diced tomatoes, green chilies, cumin, cilantro, basil, and a little lemon zest then mix in a bunch of brown or white rice? I always use this as a standby if I can't think of anything else at the moment I need food.
Yummmm! This sounds like a great standby for any night of the week. Plus, I have all those ingredients in my pantry. Thanks Catlin!
