    I'm a vegetarian. I love them. I tend to eat lentils the most since they're so quick cooking.

    Yup, he casts a jaded eye my way when he sees the chickpeas soaking. He declares any stew with chickpeas to be inedible.

    make a multi bean chili supper dish and I think you'll really enjoy that also add in some mixed vegetables in the flavors that really are keen to your palette for me personally I love chick peas kidney beans and edamame beans are a few excellent sources of protein and healthy fats

    Chic Peas are my addiction right now

    I soak and cook my own beans and freeze them in bags of 2 cups. I spent today doing up small red chili beans, navy beans and black beans and every one of them is between 35-40 calories per ounce after cooking. I do love them and I will consider the calories healthy ones, but will have to increase exercise and be careful of what else I eat on days when I eat more than a couple ounces of beans.

    Yes, love !! Make your own black beans in the crockpot, & you will never go back to canned beans again!! Mash these into refried beans or not & leave them whole:

    My favorite chili recipe...use 2 cups of beans from the recipe above to make this chili:

    http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/30-minute-turkey-chili-recipe.html
    I put this is the crockpot on low for 8 hours so the flavors simmer together!

    Juevos rancheros is awesome too! 1/2 C beans with 2 fried eggs, cheese, pineapple salsa, sour cream, & tipatio. I put it over polenta sometimes too. Amazing!!

    I so love beans. Most of my family and friends don't like them, but I think they're great... and delicious! I know a bunch of people who eat beanless chili because they think beans are nasty, but to me it ain't chili if it ain't got beans in it! Mmmm... red beans n' rice, 2 bean chili, bean and cheese burrito, pintos n' cheese, bean salad, portuguese bean soup, etc etc etc. Now I want some bean dip. Gotta love them beans!

    We eat alot of beans here in Italy. People say that they were poor people food for those that could only afford meat once a week before WWII. Many chefs now are promoting them as cheap, healthy and tasty. It all depends on how they are prepared--my family, all men, love them. B)
