"When it comes to a healthy eating on a budget, beans are a dream food. They are rich in nutrients, dietary fibre and protein, they are filling and low in fat, and they are inexpensive and easy to keep on hand. Even better most grocers stock an impressive variety. Just be sure to drain and rinse them under cool water, to remove excess sodium and wash away the muddy flavor of the liquid. This hearty recipe is made with black beans and Great Northern beans, seasoned well, and given a bit of heat with the jalapeno pepper. Unsweetened cocoa adds depth to the flavours and an almost imperceptible hint of chocolate."

I am a 56 year old Gramma that, for the first time in my life, has purchase myself a computer, and I didn't know what i was missing!! I have a husband tha I adore, and 4 grandchildren that of course surpass all others - lol - I am disabled, and am an at home person, so I have a lot of time on my hands, to play with my recipes, and I am enjoying every bit of it - My husband will eat anything that I cook, so I have carte blanche as far as that goes, so I have a great time trying out new recipes. Paula Deen has published some of my favorite cookbooks, her recipes are easy and quick to do. Her sweets are fantastics, especially her pound cakes, Yummm I guess the dish that I am famous for is my Christmas ham - my family all comes home for Christmas, and if i don't have my ham they are dissapointed, and my grandson wants the pistachio squares!!! so I guess that is the dishes that I'm famous for.
