I eat all kinds of beans in all kinds of ways. The black bean waffles I made recently was probably one of my most interesting uses of beans. Love the photos here!

I not had a bean I didn’t like yet. When I was growning up, bean probably did mean green bean to me. Today and for many years bean is generic unless a specific bean is named. I really do love them.

Hey there Ben, thanks for visiting my site. Yes, after 12 hours the brisket just simply falls apart, it’s so tender. Your article on beans. What can I say. I grew up on all kinds of dishes prepared with pinto beans. It’s an absolute staple in our house. I also wrote an article on the pinto bean being a nutritious and inexpensive addition to any meal. The cost of food today makes it almost impossible not to be creative with your meal planning. Thank God we have “our roots” to fall back on. Beans and rice…hey that’s nice. Borracho beans, refried beans, beans with chorizo, and the list goes on and on. Thanks for sharing Ben.

[...] Beans! Ben at What’s Cooking? explains why they’re so good. I’m going to try and eat more of them since they’re so healthy and less expensive than meat. [...]

Ben, I totally agree with the having beans as a staple in your diet. Being Mexican, I obviously grew up with pinto beans in all its’ glorious and various ways of preparation. Borracho, refried, soup, with chorizo, as an extender, you name it. Beans, like rice, are an inexpensive yet nutritious means of creating a healthy and filling meal. With the rising cost of food these days, we need to go back to basics. Thanks for sharing.
