You Can Make What???

I L❤️VE the versatility of Epicure. Recently I made 3 meals that were so very far from what the back of the package had intended.  I encourage you to check out the recipes on my site.
I made Vegetarian Black Bean Soup with the Pulled Chicken seasoning Packet!


Search your meal solution HERE for tons of alternate recipes.

EASY BLACK BEAN SOUP


Perfectly Balance Your Plate

Serve with 1⁄4 sliced avocado, 1⁄2 cup tortilla chips (try crushing them over your soup!), and 1⁄2 cup sliced veggies.

Ingredients

4 cans (19 oz/540 ml each) low-sodium black beans
2 bell peppers
1 yellow onion
1 can (28 oz/796 ml) no salt added diced tomatoes
4 cups water

Toppings (optional): diced red onion, 2% plain Greek yogurt, sliced avocado, hot sauce

Preparation

PROGRAMMABLE PRESSURE COOKER 

  1. Drain and rinse black beans; add to an 8-quart programmable pressure cooker.
  2. Dice peppers and onion. Add peppers, onion, diced tomatoes, water, and seasoning to pot. Stir to combine.
  3. Secure lid. Place steam release valve in SEALING position. Press MANUAL button, select HIGH, and set the time to 10 min. This will take some time to get up to temperature before the timer starts to count down.
  4. When the cook time has finished, naturally release pressure for 10 min.
  5. Using a long-handled spoon, push the steam release valve to VENTING position. Release pressure completely before opening lid.
  6. Using an immersion blender, purée most of the soup, leaving some chunky bits. Taste and season with salt as desired.
  7. Serve with additional toppings, if desired.

SLOW COOKER 

  1. Drain and rinse black beans; add to a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Dice peppers and onion. Add peppers, onion, diced tomatoes, water, and seasoning to slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  3. Cover; cook on high 4–5 hours. The liquid should be bubbling and the onions soft.
  4. Using an immersion blender, purée most of the soup, leaving some chunky bits. Taste and season with salt as desired.
  5. Serve with additional toppings, if desired.

The 3rd recipe We tried that was fantastic! I love the Easy Peasy Bolognese over noodles or to dip french bread in it as an appetizer

 Vegetarian Bolognese Pizza


Ingredients

1 can (28 oz/796 ml) crushed tomatoes
1⁄2 cup water or broth
1⁄2 cup plain non-dairy creamer or half and half cream (10%)
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1⁄2 red onion
2 (12" each) thin whole-wheat pizza crusts
1 1⁄2 cups grated mozzarella cheese, parmesan, or a mix of both

Toppings (optional): chopped black olives, fresh basil or arugula

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 450° F.  
  2. In a large Multipurpose Pot, combine mix, crushed tomatoes, water, and creamer. 
  3. Cover; simmer on medium heat for 15 min, stirring occasionally. It will thicken near the end of the cook time; stir more frequently at that time to prevent sticking. Season with salt and pepper to taste.  
  4. Meanwhile, slice tomatoes in half. Thinly slice onion.  
  5. Place pizza crusts on two separate Sheet Pans lined with Sheet Pan Liners. Spread 1 cup sauce over each crust (save remainder for use at a later date). Top with tomatoes, onion, and cheese. 
  6. Bake until cheese melts, 8 min. Remove from oven. To serve, cut each pizza into 8 slices.

Vegetarian Mexican Feast




Made the quickest and best Saturday Night Meal: Black bean quesadillas with Creamy Nacho Sauce and Pineapple Salsa

You can certainly use Mango or another fruit instead of Pineapple- but We used canned pineapple tidbits and it was perfect.  We are not big tomato fans, so this may be our salsa from NOW ON!!!

I love the fact that we don't have jars and jars of sauces and condiments in our fridge.  With Epicure jars of seasonings, we just make what we need.

Order you Poco Here: https://suzannedekorsi.epicure.com/en-us/product/poco-picante-salsa-mix

Order your Nacho Dip Mix: https://suzannedekorsi.epicure.com/en-us/product/nacho-cheese-dip-mix


I love to be able to make fresh salsa anytime.  All you need is 1 cup of diced tomatoes for the regular salsa- that's canned or fresh!

Now for the Quesadilla Recipe:

Ingredients

1⁄2 cup mayonnaise or 2% Greek yogurt
1 1⁄2 tbspNacho Cheese Dip Mix
1 can (14 oz/398 ml) black beans
1 cup grated cheese, your choice
4 (6"/15 cm) flour or corn tortillas
1 large tomato
1⁄2 lime

Preparation

  1. Line a Sheet Pan with a Sheet Pan Liner. Preheat oven to 400° F.
  2. Meanwhile, in bowl, stir together mayonnaise with dip mix. Set aside.
  3. Drain and rinse beans. 
  4. Arrange tortillas on pan. Spread dip on half of each tortilla. Top with beans and cheese, then fold tortillas over filling.
  5. Bake for 10 min or until cheese melts and tortillas are light golden.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare salsa. Dice tomato; place in a bowl and stir in salsa mix. Using the 2-in-1 Citrus Press, squeeze in 1 tsp lime juice. Stir to mix.
  7. Cut tortillas into wedges and serve with salsa.

Black Friday Sales

I was excited to have Family and friends over for Thanksgiving and loved sharing some of my Epicure dishes with them.
Spiced nuts, extraordinary trio dip, salsa, crabapple cinnamon cheese ball, and Chocolate mud pie.

I made a log instead of a Cheese ball, but forgot to take my own picture-  It was quite yummy. I used the recipes on the back of the packages fro each of the following, except went to Epicure's site for the Cheese Ball/log recipe.

All links to the products are below each picture.
