We ate a lot of beans as I was growing up and I love them. One time I was in charge of a luncheon for our church womens organization. We had been working on ways to be more frugal and food storage. I made the entire lunch from beans including desert. They loved it. I cook a large pot of beans and divide them into freezer bags and put them flat into my freezer........I have cooked beans whenever I need them, which is quite often. I have canned them before, but I think freezing is easier. I really like your blog and the recipes you have posted....see you later....jodalton
