These have become our favorite beans to accompany Latin American meals. Tender, creamy and full of flavor.

Grass-Fed Beef Bulgogi

Bulgogi means “fire meat” in Korean and it's a great way to cook lean grass-fed beef. Serve it on lettuce cups with short-grain brown rice for light, healthy dinner.

Glass Noodle Salad with Spicy Sweet Shrimp

Holy smokes is this yummy! Is about all I have to say. And ridiculously easy to pull together, too, especially if you have extra Spicy-Sweet shrimp on hand--or substitute other leftovers, like Mohogony Grilled Chicken. Packed with flavor yet light and refreshing, it's a go-to, one-dish meal for the dog days of summer.

Fiery-Sweet Peach Salsa

The heat of the jalapeno and bite of the red onion play nicely off the subtle sweetness of the peach in this summery salsa.

Mexican Chocolate Brownies

This recipe is inspired by Mexican chocolate, which is sweet, cinnamony, and nutty. The chile powder adds a touch of smoky heat, but you can omit it if you like.

Asian Pesto
