Preparations for next week are in full swing!
With the “Big Game” just over a week away, the N.K. Hurst Co. is proud to partner with The Greater Boston Food Bank and Food Bank For New York City to announce that we will be donating 46,000 meals to the food bank in the winning teams’ city! Stay tuned for more details, and please join us in donating to these great causes!
Food Bank For New York City recognizes 29 years as the city’s major hunger-relief organization working to end food poverty throughout the five boroughs. As one of the country’s largest food banks, our mission is to end hunger in New York City by organizing food, information and support for community survival and dignity. As the city’s hub for integrated food poverty assistance, the Food Bank tackles the hunger issue on three fronts — food distribution, income support and nutrition education — all strategically guided by its research.

Happy New Year! For anyone still recovering from their weekend celebrations, here’s an easy recipe from guest blogger Carol Kicinski to throw on the stove and by dinner time, you will be all set to enjoy a delicious pot of bean soup. Enjoy!
Thanksgiving is only 2 days away! Last year we gave you a great Lentil & Wild Rice Pilaf that has been one of our most searched recipes all year. This time around we have another delicious recipe that will be a perfect side dish for all of your holiday gatherings.
Last Sunday in the Hurst Bean Field we hosted our 5th annual Hurst Bean Cook-off. Every year our season pass holders showcase their best bean recipes in hopes of taking home the grand prize: Next years’ HBF Colts season pass! As always, there were some amazingly delicious and creative entries. We’d like to congratulate Matt and Brandy Fultz on their awesome “Hurst Bean Shepherds Pie” which had incredible flavor and is definitely one of the best tasting dishes ever submitted at the cook-off (recipe below!). Some of the other highlights included the Dugan’s “Italian White Bean Egg-rolls”, and our runner-up Jen Tudor’s “White Bean & Sweet Corn Queso”. See below for some pictures from the event or click HERE to view them all on our Flickr page.
This month’s Hurst Family Harvest recipe from Carol Kicinski at Simply Gluten Free is loaded with great flavor. She braises bone-in chicken thighs with our Homestyle Tri-Bean soup for a dish that works perfect on these cold Fall evenings. Click HERE to visit her site and view the complete recipe!
Thanks for all the great feedback about our ads in the October issue of Cooking Light magazine! Click HERE and HERE for some great info on why eating beans is a perfect way to achieve a healthy and balanced diet.
As the temps continue to drop in the evenings, it is a perfect time to look back at some of our favorite Fall recipes from the last few years. This Pumpkin Lentil Soup is one of our most popular posts ever on the bean blog. Serving out of a small pumpkin makes it a perfect dish for any Halloween party. Don’t forget to try the Pumpkin White Bean Stew recipe posted last Fall. The earthy flavor of the Great Northern beans are balanced well with some tangy apple cider and sweetness from the puréed pumpkin. The 15 Bean Tailgate Chili has been a hit at all of our Hurst Bean Field tailgate parties. It’s ideal for a huge crowd and has just enough spice to keep everyone warm on a cold day. Enjoy!
We’ve had some hints of colder weather here in the Midwest, but even if you are still feeling the summer heat this recipe from guest blogger Carol Kicinski @ Simply Gluten-Free is sure to please the whole family!
From Carol: “I love this recipe because it is so packed with flavor, so robust and yet so simple. To make it really easy I started off with a bag of Hurst Family Harvest Bayou Cajun Red Bean Soup Continue reading
