I love eating beans. I love them on salads as well as in recipes. Soups, rice dishes, Mexican dishes, just about anything. My family will even eat them, yep, even the kids.If I have to cook beans every time I want to serve them, it just doesn't happen. Beans are so good for you, that I do like to serve them.
