Beans are assuming primary importance in our diets. There was a time, not long ago, when potatoes, pasta, orzo would all crowd out beans. For my hubby, beans meant two things: chili or hot dogs. After years of being totally religious about breakfast, it happens now when my stomach signals me, usually 10:30 to 11:30. A small bowl of canned black eyed beans with jalapenos was sitting in the frig, leftover for a couple of days. Perfect with a little coriander. For lunch, I defrosted a lentil burger, mixed in a tablespoon of tahini and stuffed the mixture into half a whole wheat pita - delicious served with buttermilk.
Cooked a bowl of Cajan mixed bean soup for dinner, incorporating one leftover frozen hot turkey sausage. I know sausage is not acceptable, but one in 3 quarts of water shouldn't do too much damage. And it was wonderful. Probably should have had one and half bowls but did two. On the side, cut a pita in half and topped with cheddar and jalapenos under the broiler. Very nice side dish.
Really not missing sweets. A very new food routine, not bad, just different.
