I have officially purchased the best cookbook around! It’s called Clean Start by Terry Walters and I’m already obsessed. So happy that I found this book and must admit I have quickly become obsessed with this women and her healthy outlook on eating and living well.
“It’s simply about making healthy choices, one at a time, and doing the best that you can do, empowered with knowledge and motivated by intention.” – Terry Walters
Cooking is very therapeutic for me and I love reading these recipes and then creating these healthy dishes with fresh ingredients. Usually, I change it up a little to fit my own personal tastes.
Anything that calls for garlic, is quickly doubled when I make it! Beware friends, family, and vampires.
For a fun treat, I’m going to routinely create one recipe in this cookbook, then post the delicious pictures and tips for each recipe!
This week, I made the Spicy Black Bean Dip. Can I say yummmmm?!
The one thing I did learn was that black beans are unfortunately not very photogenic. But trust me, it was delicious! It’s a great alternative to other fatty dips. It still tastes like a naughty treat but is much better than spinach artichoke dip, chunky queso, etc. Would highly recommend bringing to a barbecue or grill party! It would pair great with these Chicken Tacos.
The one less than pleasant consequence to making this was a strange burning tingle inbetween my fingers! I added in some jalapeños to the recipe and the oils must have soaked into my fingers. Ouchy! Oh well, the taste was well worth it 🙂
