Wow....I can tell you live at sea level 
We all love home-cooked pintos, but they do take overnight soaking or the quick soak method plus almost a full day of cooking. I mash them also, with a clove of garlic. Rachel.....did you grow up having them fried in lard? I have a friend who doesn't count her refried beans as meatless because she can't conceive of preparing them without grease
We love bean tostadas and tacos. Thanks for mentioning them because that is one of my first choices, along with chimichangas (fried burritos).

Who knew there was such a difference? My mom laughed at me when she found out that I soaked beans. She also lives at sea level.

Nope, this is just the way mom makes them. One time because I was curious she refried them for me, but I couldn't tell the difference. I can in restaurants, but not enough to want to do the added fat at home. Mmmmmm, I love beans, but we have to limit the amounts consumed...

I'm reviving this old thread because these recipes look so good! Hopefully it will be a blessing to someone else too.

Here is a great one I cobbled together last night. I haven't been to the grocery store in awhile, and so I was trying to make something out of nothing. Funny thing is, now that I look at it, if I were to go out and buy these ingredients I would think this was some kind of a special meal.
I found a bag of little shrimp in the bottom of the freezer than had an expiration date of yesterday, so I had to use it. A friend from dh's work had given him several bunched of asparagus, I had about one pound left.
So here it is:
Feeds 8
Snap bottoms off of asparagus, place in baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, then salt and pepper and place in 400 degree over for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, boil water for pasta.
Then melt 1 stick of butter in a heavy skillet. Chop one small onion (or half a large one), and mince 4 cloves of garlic. Throw into butter. Cook a few minutes. Add a couple of dashes of Worcestershire sauce, 2 Tablespoons white wine, squeeze juice from a a half lime (that is all I had, it might be even better with a whole lime), some salt and pepper. Add one and a half to two pounds of little shrimp. Heat through (if raw shrimp, cook until pink).
Cook Angel Hair pasta (I used almost two boxes, so almost 16 oz).
While it is cooking dump the asparagus into the shrimp.
Drain noodles, mix shrimp mixture into the noodles.
Serve with diced avocado and shredded parmesan on top.
Yum!
