| Better Eat Your Beans | | Beans are a perfect low-fat food that can keep blood sugar stable, keep us feeling full for longer, and therefore help us control the amount of fat and calories we eat. An excellent source of protein -- comparable to meat, beans should be a part of everyone's diet. |  | | | Curried Chick Peas and Tomatoes | | This is perhaps the ultimate cheap pantry meal. I always have canned tomatoes and canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans) in my pantry. Thankfully, cheap can mean flavorful and nutritious, as in the case of this quick and easy dish. | | | | | Bean Burritos | | This kid-pleasing dish features two kinds of beans: black beans and pinto beans. You can stick with one kind if you prefer, but I like the variety. Use whole-wheat flour tortillas or spinach tortillas for an extra nutritional boost. | | | | | Lentil and Black Bean Soup | | Lentils paired with black beans makes for a filling and highly nutritious soup that will see you through until dinner time. | | | | | Black Bean Chipotle Chili | | My favorite meatless chili is this hearty and delicious black bean chipotle chili. The heat and smokiness of chipotle pepper adds depth of flavor to this satisfying black bean chili. | | | | | | | | You are receiving this newsletter because you subscribed to the About Low Fat Cooking newsletter.
