I love beans, all kinds of beans.  They are loaded with protein, fiber, nutrients and are extremely versatile.   Beans are low in fat and help to regulate blood sugar levels (great for diabetics).  We can’t forget how healthy beans are for your heart.  You know that old saying, “Beans, Beans they’re good for your heart”…well you know the rest ๐Ÿ™‚

I love this recipe because it is simple.  It tastes wonderful alone or on the side next to some chicken or fish.   I love vegetarian dishes so I would eat this alone, maybe with a green salad.  It’s a perfect Meatless Monday dish!
