Wow, here in the land of Tex-Mex a new recipe, and it sounds good! Thanks for sharing it.
Donna, both sound delicious. I may save the gazpacho until warmer weather (43 degrees in Texas qualifies as frigid). However, I bet that first...
Oh, gosh, I should have been clearer about sprouting beans on paper towels. That is just a test to see if the seed is viable--not a way to get...
Donna honey, you are most welcome! Now you can reciprocate by posting your black bean soup recipe on the Recipe Forum! I love your recipes. :-D
