I spent the last week plus in Leadville, Colorado, exploring the effects of high elevation on cooking beans. ⛰️ I know many of us may worry about the impacts of high elevation on baked goods, but beans care about elevation, too! 👍

Check out this quick read to learn some tips and fun tidbits from my experiences cooking beans at over 10,000 feet. https://alegumeaday.com/beans-and-high-elevation-5-things-to-know/

Summer is the perfect time to bust out all the zucchini recipes! The combo of the savory nuttiness of tahini and the sweet tang of balsamic that coats these chickpeas with zucchini spells perfection. 😍

Check out the recipe on my website (link in bio) now: https://alegumeaday.com/tahini-balsamic-chickpeas-with-zucchini/

Also, this is *not* a sponsored post - I just love the @8_trackfoods mission and products and suggest you check them out!

This sun-dried tomato tofu spread is satisfying, simple, and packed with good ingredients. It only takes a few minutes to make, so what are you waiting for? Recipe in the website in my bio! 👍😋

Also, if you're wondering about sourdough, let me know! 🍞 I struggled with whole wheat sourdough for quite a while, but using @bobsredmill whole wheat flour was a huge game changer for consistently awesome texture, crumb, and flavor.
