    Beans and cornbread yesterday. I got up hungry this morning so I just finished eating two eggs and two sausage patties.

    Speaking of beans ...:)... has anyone tried making Black Bean Brownies?
    I haven't tried it yet, but I intend to. Just a box of brownie mix, and one can black beans.
    Supposed to taste amazing .....
    Healthier Brownies Recipe
    (makes 16 brownies)
    1 15.5 ounce can black beans
    1 package brownie mix (20 ounces)

    Blend UNDRAINED black beans in food processor or blender until smooth. Mix in with brownie mix and bake following package directions.

    Skip the eggs and oil.

    from the article:
    Why would you add black beans instead of oil and an egg?

    First, let's look at calories. For 1/3 cup canola oil and one egg (which is what you add to my favorite brownie mix) you are looking at 705 calories vs. 315 for the can of black beans. But the comparison shouldn't stop there, because the black beans have ZERO saturated fat - while the egg and oil combination has 6.7 grams (for the entire brownie mix).

    Also, with black beans you will be adding fiber. Black beans have 24% of your daily value of fiber in 1/2 cup.

    We've been eating out of the freezer, GS had eaten out several times and I've grabbed sandwiches. I'm in an uninspired phase; other than some more lentil soup, I haven't cooked in just over a week. :eek:

    oh no Bonnie, don't let it burst. This happens now and then, I'll be back in the kitchen during the upcoming week. I'll be looking at recipes on the Internet tonight for something new.

    Oh, silly ... take it easy. I'm just jealous of your talent.
    Sadly, I've forgotten how to put a meal together anymore. It's getting to that point, since it's me and two dogs, and they don't demand fancy cooking. But I have to admit, I did make them some calves liver today. :D
    ... we all shared.

    We had homemade chicken noodle soup from freezer. Dessert was fresh grapes and sliced cantaloupe.
