Pumpkin bean muffins are so easy to make! You won’t believe how simple it is to crank out 30 muffins. The pureed white beans add nutrients and make these muffins extra moist. Try them for breakfast with a schmear of cream cheese or have them with coffee for a late-afternoon pick-me-up.

Savory and spicy Italian sausage, tons of garlic, and tender beans … talk about comfort food! Hearty sausage and bean Dutch oven stew is a one-bowl feast. (And it’s super easy to make, too.) This is great for autumn camping trips or tailgating parties; you can also adapt it to simmer on your stove top or your slow cooker.

You know those rainy fall days when you just want something warm that will stick to your ribs? This baby lima and turkey chili is just the ticket. This is a “white” chili — no tomato sauce here — and it’s extra rich thanks to a generous dollop of sour cream.

 

You didn’t think we’d leave out something sweet, did you? Our upside-down pear gingerbread cake with lima beans is one of the most moist, delicious desserts you’ll try all fall. It’s a little bit spicy and a little bit sweet, and the added baby lima beans add great texture.
