, when you use white beans, cooked I imagine, to make ice cream, could I use almond milk with them? Would you share your recipe?TerrySent from my iPadOn Jan 22, 2012, at 8:12 PM, "" <berrywell@...> wrote:

White beans and chia are both great sources of protein and nutrients. If protein is your focus, consider adding a bit of cooked red quinoa too-quinoa is a complete protein in its own right. I use beans as a base for creamy non dairy ice cream-surprisinly delicious! You can add either or both...just be sure to soak chia seeds or add liquid to them before you consume them, since they can "gel" in your tummy, causing belly ache! White beans, chia, and quinoa can also all be ground in to a lovely flour to use with other flours in baked goods, for yet another boost of protein. Glad you are enjoying your experimenting!

Thanks again, . Loving my VM!!!!Sent from my iPadOn Jan 22, 2012, at 8:58 PM, "" <berrywell@...> wrote:

I am trying to put together some actual recipes, and will try to get them uploaded in the files section in the next few days.

, when you speak of white beans, are you meaning the small white

beans I think of when I think of Navy bean soup? or larger white beans

or? I would love to find a 25 lb sack of organic white beans but mostly

when I see beans for sale it is pinto beans in the larger quantities.

That explained a lot, thanks. I really want some Navy beans, but so far

can only find them as a single lb package. I will keep looking but nice

to know I can use others. I keep dry chickpeas on hand all the time.

Have a partial 25 lb bag each of pintos and black beans. I love beans

and fortunately my family does as well. When these non organic beans are

gone, I will be buying bags from near by health food store or wherever I

can get organic in the varieties I want.

Thanks for the knowledge. You are da best.

Hey Lucille!

I grew up going to Methodist Church Bean Suppers each year. It was a

annual fund raiser. They served baked beans, brown bread (baked in large

juice cans, all brown, rich with molasses and raisins), and apple pie

for dessert. My Mom often had electric roasters all over our kitchen as

she prepped the beans, then delivered them with instructions to various

homes to be plugged in to bake . Later I can recall when she suggested

they go to a one crust apple pie (crust on top) to save work and do them

in large baking pans from the church kitchen. All warm and flavorful

memories. I still have Mom's roaster, even though it no longer works, it

holds fond memories.

My mother made the brown bread like that too. Then she pushed a little

out of the can to slice it. When I was very young her father had a bakery

and every Friday morning all the ladies in the area brought their bean pots

there to be baked in my grand father's brick oven. Then they knew when

they were ready and would go picked them up. All the bean pots had a metal

tag with a number to identify the owner. I use to make beans too when my

kids were young. I still have that brown bean pot.

I bought some adzuki beans. Do you soak and cook them like regular beans? I think I have only sprouted them in the past. How are they different, nutrition-wise, from other beans?

RenaIf God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.Happy moments, praise God.

Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God.

I think my Mom had a bean pot too. It may be in a box in the garage

still. But she did not bake in it because she only made the beans like

that once a year and they were made in the big electric roaster. Oh

those beans were good. I need to find her recipe. It is in my collection

somewhere.
