50 Yumm Yumms and 10 BIG stars!!!!! This recipe is exactly why I love Zaar sooo much!!! I found this using the ingredient search or else I never would have been looking for a recipe like this! I had a can of black beans and a can of salmon and I typed "black beans" in the ingredient search and then in the sub-category under that, I typed in "canned salmon" and this recipe came up!!! Really tasty dip and very healthy too!! At first I thought, wow 1/4 cup oil? But the oil is what makes it a dip so don't be scared to put it in. I switched the spices around a tiny bit, I did 1/4 tsp cumin and 3/4 tsp chile powder instead of the other way around because I like cumin to be subtle to my taste. I used chipotle chile powder and it added a smokey accent to the dip! Also, I had everything around the house except I had a lemon instead of a lime and that's what I used. Threw in another 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes too, after tasting, because I like spicy!! This is a really versatile recipe too, you could place a bit of this onto a bed of lettuce for a nice salad or put some into a tortilla for a healthy wrap!! I was really thrilled to find this recipe, thanks so much!!

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
