If you’re at all like us, you get the itch to do some experimentation in the kitchen around the holidays. Baked ham and gingerbread cookies are all well and good, but sometimes the Christmas season just needs a little extra push in the taste department. If you agree, then you’ll be happy to hear that we’ve taken the time to gather some great holiday-inspired recipes from around the web, all making great use of some delicious Randall Beans. Take a look!
Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas
Eschew chestnuts this Christmas and chew on sweet roasted chickpeas instead. After a drain and rinse to remove the starch from the chickpeas, they take in the flavor honey and cinnamon easily as they bake for 30 minutes. Break your chickpeas from the normal hummus routine and let their versatility shine!
Alton Brown’s Christmas Soup
Good Eats and Cutthroat Kitchen mastermind Alton Brown never steers us wrong, and so when we learned he uses red kidney beans in his annual Christmas Soup, we knew we had to share it with our readers. The combination of kielbasa, garlic, and kidney beans form a hearty base to this delicious soup best eaten while watching your favorite Christmas movie.

The holiday season is just about as tiring as it is festive. At some point, you’re going to need a pick-me-up, and that’s exactly what this smoothie brings. With just the right balance of ingredients, including the ingenious addition of leftover cooked white beans to add both protein and thickness, this smoothie gets your mind and body back in the business of making your holidays go right.
