Bountiful Bean Basics

In these anxiety-filled days home cooking has been a life saver for many of us. As I mentioned last week, for my small part, I am going to focus on recipes that are a easy, delicious and take advantage of the items you have on hand.

These Instant Pot Beans, are a terrific way to get started. Whip up a pot of your favorite beans and use them all week long in chili (recipe coming friday), salads, soups and tacos. You can also make these beans by soaking them overnight and simmering them on the stove for 2-3 hours.

I made pinto beans today, but as you’ll see, you can use this simple, quick method for any beans you’ve got.

I wish you and yours peace and good health as we all navigate these unprecedented times. Be good to each other and connect from a distance.
