I'm lucky to have several relatives who, over the years, have become vegan and vegan-ish. It's really fun when this starts to happen, and I love when they teach me something new.

In August, during our yearly family reunion on Cape Cod, my sister-in-law Mary told me about a delicious bean and vegetable dish that she makes. She sometimes serves this (see recipe below) as a dip with good-quality tortilla chips. (To me, good quality means no hydrogenated fats, high-fructose corn syrup or GMOs.) But Mary also serves this as main dish on brown rice, which would be my choice. It even could be a topping for white fish if you're more vegan-ish than true vegan -- meaning you're adding more plant-based foods to your diet.

If you're leaning in a plant-based direction and would like to try something healthier than a slice of pizza or burger, this is a simple, delicious dish that will make you feel great. And it's super quick to put together.
