Beans or kidney beans. :) it is really tasty.</p> <p>Eta: actually, we usually buy a can of mixed beans, and heat them up a little before putting them in the wrap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-beans-bring-out-your-recipes#post-1368923 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 23:06:25 +0000 NurseMommy 1368923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: yum!

They are so good with pepper and salt. I serve them with greek yogurt and cilantro and corn bread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-beans-bring-out-your-recipes#post-1368760 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 21:48:13 +0000 immabeetoo 1368760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: I do 25 meat / 50 beans / 25 grain (rice, quinoa, or amaranth etc) to be even cheaper!</p> <p>here is a tasty one: <a href="http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/citrus_scented_black_bean_soup_with_chipotle_cream.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/citrus_scented_black_bean_soup_with_chipotle_cream.html</a></p> <p>Also any black bean patty or burger. You can make "hummus" with any type of bean and then use it on sandwiches, with veggies, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-beans-bring-out-your-recipes#post-1368330 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 19:25:22 +0000 MrsADS 1368330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make my tacos with a 50/50 mix of ground beef and black beans! Use the taco seasoning. I swear you cannot taste the difference! Tastes just like a regular taco when you put on all your toppings and stuff. It is a way to save some $$ to stretch meat, and also adds fiber and nutrients! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-beans-bring-out-your-recipes#post-1368258 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 18:46:49 +0000 HolisticMama 1368258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: LOL ! I totally giggled at work. </p> <p>@scg00387: My acupuncturist just said any dark bean. :)</p> <p>@Ms.Pumpkin: I think I am going to have to look into the slow cooker, because I ALWAYS have underdone beans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-beans-bring-out-your-recipes#post-1368235 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 18:33:43 +0000 Ms.Pumpkin 1368235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! The more you eat, the more you....</p> <p>I love beans! We eat them all the time! Cheap and easy!</p> <p>When dealing with dried beans, my slow cooker is the best tool ever. Throw a bag or two of dried beans in the slow cooker (rinsed and picked over, just to make sure there aren't any rocks in there). Throw in a 28 oz can of chopped or diced tomatoes, a can of diced chili peppers (I find them in the "ethnic foods" section in Giant), along with a chopped onion, and then whatever veggies I need to use up in the fridge- celery, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, sweet peppers. regular potatoes, etc. and then cook on high for about 6 hours. Add a cup of water or veggie/chicken broth if it looks dry, and at the end, you'll have a pretty good vegetarian chili.</p> <p>If I want to make it non-veggie, I'll get a Costco rotisserie chicken, pair it with a salad, and I have a fab Sunday dinner, along with enough leftovers for lunch the next few days! I use this chili recipe to clean out my fridge of any veggies that are close to being bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-beans-bring-out-your-recipes#post-1368224 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 18:28:47 +0000 BlueberryPie 1368224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We made this for dinner three nights ago and I'm already craving it again -- so amazingly simple and good!! The only downside is you need a bunch of parmesan rinds (you can buy a container of them from Whole Foods). This recipe calls for white beans, but you could easily sub darker ones. Also, we upped the beans to 3 cups instead of 1.25 because we really love them! </p> <p><a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2014/01/parmesan-broth-with-kale-and-white-beans/" rel="nofollow">http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2014/01/parmesan-broth-with-kale-and-white-beans/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-beans-bring-out-your-recipes#post-1368206 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 18:23:25 +0000 Mae 1368206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made some really good refried (sorta) black beans last night! </p> <p>Add some olive oil to a sauté pan, when it heats up sauté 1/2 an onion and 2 tomatoes chopped up, then a few cloves of garlic. When everything is soft, add 1 can rinsed black beans and heat until they are warmed through. I added a bit of salt at this point too. Then put everything in a food processor and blend until it is refried bean texture. You can also add cilantro if you have any (I didn't). They are good to eat just plain, or as a dip for chips! We used them to make tostados with some crisped up corn tortillas and salsa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-beans-bring-out-your-recipes#post-1368200 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 18:21:40 +0000 MrsSCB 1368200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I posted this on another thread yesterday, but it's worth re-sharing! Sweet potato, quinoa, black bean chili.

I prepare both in the crock pot- I soak overnight, then cook on low for 8 hours or so. Kidney beans I guess you're supposed to boil for a while too due to some toxin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-beans-bring-out-your-recipes#post-1368167 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 18:08:32 +0000 MoonMoon 1368167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love simple bean &amp; grain salads-couscous, rice, quinoa, farro etc. mixed with drained rinsed canned beans, favorite veggies (I like tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers, scallions, avocado), herbs, and oil/vinegar or your favorite salad dressing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-beans-bring-out-your-recipes#post-1368163 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 18:07:41 +0000 Espion 1368163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't. help. myself...</p> <p>Beans!
