I really don't like beans but I know they are healthy to eat. Does anyone have any good recipes for beans where you can diguise the taste of the bean? I have tried it in tuna and that works pretty well. Anything else I can use? Thanks

    I had some in my dip I made for my veggies last night. I ran out of my regular dip.
    sour cream, brown beans (though any beans would work) a small handful of cheese. I also added a tablespoon of chili accents tomatoes.

    Take a can of black beans, drain them, rinse them, puree them in a blender, add 1/2 cup egg beaters, 1 tsp vanilla, blend again, then add it to a package of FF/LF brownie mix (No Pudge comes to mind).

    My son loves them and he never knows the difference.

    When i was younger my mom would slow cook lima beans in a crock pot all day long with a hamhock and add some salt and pepper and by the end of the day it was delicious. Hope you enjoy! Amanda
