Beans...who eats them?

unknown

I have been eating more beans lately. Like black beans in a salad or mixed with quinoa. My main source of protein is chicken. If I run out, I eat the beans. I always have them in the pantry. They don't have a lot of calories and they don't seem to bother my stomach.
Do you eat them?

i love beans! They have such good protein, low calorie and versatile enough to use different flavors - cajun, mexican, southern (I'm from Texas) or italian styles of cooking. I prefer homemade beans but I'm trying to figure out how to log serving sizes on my daily diary. The downside is that I also love cornbread and haven't been having it with my beans lately, which is sooo good. I plan on making some soon as a special treat for one meal. We have 5 kids so cornbread goes fast around here, and I don't have to worry about leftover temptation.

I eat them daily. Getting an electric pressure cooker changed my life. Lately I've been experimenting with African spices from the Teeny Tiny Spice Company. Throw those in the pressure cooker with beans and vegetables and serve over rice. Fantastic.

Are we including green beans? I hope so because I eat those daily.

We have kidney beans,great northern & black beans often. I like garbanzo too,but not my husband.

That's so sad. If you don't like your husband, why did you marry him?

I like beans a lot, but they tend to moldy, which I'm allergic too. Sad. I can eat them, but my allergic become worse.

So jealous of your pressure cooker! I can't wait to get one. We have 5 kids so I am sure it will change my life too.

I'm having a bean medley in a quinoa/peppers/onion/avocado dressing salad for lunch today -- I'm looking forward to it!

I also make my own hummus (no olive oil needed).

I also make chocolatecoveredkatie.com's black bean brownies (no flour) -- they are AMAZING, my kids eat them up!

LOVE beans. I have made my own, but now I find I just stock up when the low-sodium cans go on sale.

i am not a lover of black beans, but I love pintos and butter beans. And navy beans, kidney beans, red beans, etc.

I always feel so nourished when I eat beans and rice. If anyone has a good way they season their black beans, I'd love to hear it. I love Chili's black beans and I have been trying to copy the recipe at home with bland luck.

Are you cooking them from dry or using canned? If using canned, I've found that the great value brand of seasoned black beans are pretty good on their own. If you want additional seasoning, I've found that adding cumin, garlic powder, paprika and cayenne powder can add good flavor. I've seen lots of recipes that use chili powder, but I don't care for the taste of chili powder.

From dry, I do 1 pound black beans soaked overnight, then rinsed and add 7-8 Cwater, 1 T each of cumin, paprika, dried minced onions and garlic powder, then cayenne powder to taste. No salt while they are cooking, but when they are to the right tenderness I add salt liberally, let them cook for a couple more minutes, then taste and salt again if needed. Using enough salt makes a world of difference, IMHO, but I only add the salt after cooking because I once had a batch of pinto beans take more than 24 hours to cook and I salted the water while cooking.

I hear they are good for your heart, and sometimes called the "musical fruit."
