  • Lots of good recipes here. I cook my beans in the crock... beans, water, diced onion, chopped garlic or garlic powder. Bouillon granules if I'm feeling 'adventurous'. I usually put mine on at night before bed and they're ready in the morning... or I'll put them on early in the day and they're ready by dinner. Add salt…

  • I sautee mine in a sprayed non-stick skillet... slice into slices and sautee. After they are browned, I'll add about 1/4 cup water or chicken broth, cover the pan with a lid and let them steam till tender-crisp. I use all kinds of seasonings...

Mix with some fat free mayo or salad dressing, a handful of diced celery (I use the inner greenish-yellow parts and the leaves -- they have great flavor) and eat it either on double fiber wheat bread, lettuce salad... or sometimes i add in some other…

  • I am new to the MFP site. I am taking a little block of time for the next few days trying to learn the site. I have friends supporting me with the weight loss but none of them have as much to lose and I do and none of them are much into computer forums. I am determined to lose the weight and keep it off this time.
