    1. You are so welcome! I am over the moon excited about bean club. Did you get the October box yet? I cannot wait to get mine!

      1. Indeed! I’m struggling to find the best cooking method for the caballeros, but I’m still thrilled because I’ve been waiting for those for a long time, and I love their spherical shape. A lot of RG beans don’t need soaking but I think these may be an exception. Last year’s black-eyed peas were heavenly so I’m looking forward to these again, and the black, pinto, and cranberry are all perfect expressions. Do you have any RG favorites so far? I think you would really love the Alubia Blancas, which are tiny little white beans perfect for soups, salads, or clams. If you like pintos, I think the Rio Zape, San Franciscano, Pinquito, and Eye of the Goat are even more mind-blowing.

  1. This episode was so fun and informational. I really enjoy when you and your hubby host the show together. I also struggle with keeping up the inventory of the freezer, but it sure is useful. I defrost my small chest freezer 3-4 times a year and make a list of what’s in there. Try to do it with the fridge freezer also. Yes! Pesto in the freezer is a lifesaver. My kids love it and will eat it on pasta or pizza weekly. I freeze it in ziploc containers…maybe 6 oz? They take the pesto pasta for lunches during the week, so we don’t mind leftovers. I love this podcast…always gives me so many ideas. Thank you!
