Cook Once, Eat Twice Tuesday!
Simplify day 1 by using a slow cooker to cook dried beans. Add seasonings to give you the flavor profile you want. They make a great side dish or can be included in another recipe. Then, use them again during the week (day 2) in a different recipe. For example, black beans can be pureed into a hummus or bean dip to each with cut veggies or pita chips for a snack. You can also incorporate cooked black beans in a meatless burger. Top a Southwest salad or pizza for some added protein. There are many great ideas in InSeason magazine. This article features these fabulous ideas for black beans, but you can really use any dried bean you prefer. They are all a great source of fiber, which benefits digestion, diabetes, heart disease and many other health conditions.
