Kathryn Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Here are a couple of rootin' tootin' recipes with beans. I am often a lazy cook, so it's nice to have healthy recipes that are fast to fix, like these. "Can-opener bean salad" Mix together 1 can each, drained and rinsed: kidney beans, black beans (or black soy), garbanzo beans, green beans (I use organic). Add I small jar pimentos and/or 1 can artichoke hearts, halved and or/1 small can sliced black olives (drained and rinsed to remove excess salt). Moisten a bit with an italian or vinaigrette dressing, and serve on a bed of lettuce (I like torn romaine). Feel free to substitute any beans you like, or add any other favorite salad ingredients. "Baked beans" (adapted from a recipe in "Oxygen" magazine).Preheat oven to 350 degree.Stir together in a bowl (being careful not to mash beans): approximately 28 ounces canned vegan baked beans (I used one large can of Bush's), one can each drained and rinsed kidney beans, black soy and black beans. Add approximately 1/2 cup catsup, 1 Tsp. prepared mustard, 1 Tbsp. maple syrup (or sweetener of choice--I'd add a bit more next time). Stir again. (Option: either saute 1/2 diced onion until tender and add, or sprinkle in some onion powder--about 1/2 tsp.) Transfer bean mixture to a casserole dish and bake uncovered about 30 minutes. (Again, feel free to increase or decrease seasoning amounts to your taste, or substitute your favorite beans, which is what I do!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathryn Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 I work for tips and can't afford to toot at work. Just change your strategy: hang around a table until they pay you to go away! ("I'll leave for 5 bucks!") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
