easy/tasty ways to prepare beans? (kidney beans, white beans, black beans)

We eat beans all the time!

Pinto Beans are great for chili, tostadas, and beans and rice, flavored with cumin and salt and pepper (and lots of other stuff if you are making chili, of course.)

Black Eyed Peas are great with kale greens and potatoes, that only needs olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Amazing taste. Parboil the kale, boil the potatoes, cubed, sautee onion and garlic in olive oil then add the black eye peas, mix everything together with salt and pepper and some more olive oil.

Black Eyed Peas with ethiopian spice mix and tomatoes, yum!

Red Lentils make great coconut dal - cook them in coconut milk and water and curry powder, then make a sautee of some cumin seeds and mustard seeds and chopped jalapeno, toss that in hot and sizzling, mix.

Black Beans are traditional over white rice, serve with fried plantains!

Garbanzo beans with potatoes are spanish bean soup.
Garbanzo beans in curry is channa masala.

Canneloni beans are nice with sauteed green and red peppers and canned tuna, dressed with lemon, salt and pepper.

I could go on for days, but beans are about the most versatile food that exists. Just experiment!
