Eat your beans!!!!
I wasn't planning on posting today...but it's 'National Eat Beans Day'!!
So, seriously how could I not resist!!
I don't have a new recipe lined up but I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for a round up as I haven't done one of those in a while.
So here we are (a small selection) in all their beanie glory. I always have numerous beans hand as I am a huge believer in soaking and cooking large batches of dried beans (so cost effective too) and then freezing them in portion sizes ready for a quick dessert, stew or salad!
So go cook up a big batch and let me know your favourite beanie recipes :-)
