With a creamy center and a chocolaty outside, who wouldn’t love these?! Beans replace the butter, so they’re even a tad healthier than the traditional variety! –Mellyn

Kara’s Bruschetta
– From Kara K.
Kara whipped up this yummy bruschetta for lunch one day out of ingredients we had on hand. It was so tasty, we had to make a second batch! I don’t store this recipe as a meal in my 19×19, but I use it to help rotate my storage. If I find myself with a lot of tomatoes that are approaching expiration (okay — and a lot of times just because I like it), we treat ourselves to Bruschetta for lunch.
I also love to keep the tomato mixture made up in the fridge…it’s good in omelets, along with some cheese and fresh spinach, and delicious as a sandwich filling –just spoon it over your turkey and avocado. Mmmm! –Mellyn
French Apple Pie
This pie is a cross between a pie and a crisp. It’s so good, I couldn’t even get the picture taken before a slice was gone! Don’t be put off by the GIGANTIC list of ingredients. With an oatmeal crust you can press into the pan, this dessert comes together really quickly. Even my father-in-law, who’s not a big pie fan, enjoyed it! –Mellyn
Brazilian Black Beans (Feijoada) and Rice
–From Jeanie R.
These rich black beans have just a few ingredients, but the result is flavorful and delicious! Jeanie said she normally uses 4-5 slices of bacon to flavor her beans, but felt that real bacon bits or even jerky would be an acceptable shelf-stable substitute. I also found that Yoder’s, an Amish company based in Ohio, sells canned pork chunks containing just pork, salt and water. Their website boasts a 10-year shelf life! Definitely something to look into! –Mellyn
Fresh Tortillas for Dinner

I love these tortillas because they’re so easy to roll out! And they taste delicious! Apparently they’re a favorite of many –I had three different people give me copies of this recipe! — Mellyn
Donkey’s Waffles
A favorite Saturday morning breakfast at our house, these waffles were inspired by our favorite Betty Crocker recipe. –Mellyn
Montana Wheat Bread
This is my latest, greatest and favorite wheat bread recipe ever — in large part because it’s so fast –from grinder to table in under 2 hours! It’s got a slightly sweet flavor and a soft, pliable texture (bakers call this the crumb!) that can easily be thin sliced for sandwiches without falling apart. –Mellyn
