I am fortunate we have good space, sometimes you have to be creative...under beds is one place...in a closet...where ever you can put a couple of cans or a box...do the best you can. Maybe a friend and you could go in together if they have more space...all you can do is the best you can do! I hope you can work something out.

Re: What kind of beans?

I only really like beans when they are canned, or in a good soup with vegetables and greens. But just a bowl of mushy "soup" I don't really care for them.

But this is a recipe that I love. It tastes so good, and I usually add ham, and/or some smoked sausage to it towards the end, when it's simmering.

Total Time:
55 min
Prep
15 min
Cook
40 min

Yield:
4 to 6 servings

Level:
Easy


Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
3 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound Swiss chard, stems trimmed, leaves coarsely chopped
1 russet potato, peeled, cubed
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 fresh rosemary sprig
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained, rinsed
2 (14-ounce) cans low-sodium beef broth
1 ounce piece Parmesan cheese rind
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
Salt and pepper

Directions

Heat the oil in a heavy large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, pancetta, and garlic. Saute until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the Swiss chard and potato; saute for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and rosemary sprig. Simmer until the chard is wilted and the tomatoes break down, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, blend 3/4 cup of the beans with 1/4 cup of the broth in a processor until almost smooth. Add the pureed bean mixture, remaining broth, and Parmesan cheese rind to the vegetable mixture. Simmer until the potato pieces are tender, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Stir in the whole beans and parsley. Simmer until the beans are heated through and the soup is thick, about 2 minutes (I usually add the Sausage/Ham in at this point, and let it simmer a bit longer than they ask for). Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Discard Parmesan rind and rosemary sprig (the leaves will have fallen off of the stem.)

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.

2 cups Born Beans
4 cups cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda

Boil beans in salted water until tender. In separate bowl, mix cornmeal, baking soda and flour and mix well. Add beans and a little of the bean juice to the mixture to form stiff dough. Roll into balls, drop in boiling water and cook 30 mintues.
This does not sound to good but it taste better than it sounds. American word for them (Bean Balls)
Thanks Godzchild, Think I will try that.

But I think I will add chopped up onions in the dough. And drop the balls in the bean soup.

Re: What kind of beans?

Beans are sooooooooooo good for you. Plenty of protein. And I love beans, especially with corn bread.

Recently my son has been reading up on foods that are really good for you. And I told him a long time ago, that I read that if you ate beans everyday, you wouldn't have any gas from them. So we decided to try it.

Now, you need to know, he lives about 100 ft from me, and his wife goes to work early in the mornings (about 5am.) So he comes to my house and we make breakfast together.

But when he said the we were going to eat beans for breakfast, OH NO, I CAN'T.

Well at first, we made bean cakes, with some sausage in them and plenty of sage, and they were pretty good, TO MY SURPRISE. But that got to be a hassel. So now I keep beans cooked all of the time in the ref. And he makes re-fried beans with with seasonings for Venison, summer sausage. He adds extra sage and other seasonings in it. And it is still good. We eat it every morning.

NO GASssssssssssss

I've wanted to get her book, but it is so expensive! Almost $50! Do you by chance have her book? Or even seen it? Would it be worth the $$ to buy it?

You would probably be interested in Karen Hurd's site, link provided above by ILG. I personally can't just eat a bowl of beans, but have to eat beans in something else. I don't know if I could handle eating beans for every meal!

Thank you ILG and Kept, for that Web site. The Green Dragon is an amazing story. I could tell one similar of myself. I knew in my 20's that the Dr's couldn't help me, so I started studying Herbs, Nutrition and vitamins.

I truly believe that God put herbs and wholesome natural foods for our healing.

You should be able to get it at the library! It is worth the read. If you can't find it, go to the information/reference desk and ask them if they can get it for you!
