My thoughts:

Although I'm super ready to deed on to spring, I've been trying to eek out the final fleck of juice too flavour out of citrus piece I all the same can. I love minneolas* because they are large, juicy too accept a lovely floral flavor. I've been experimenting lately with using dried beans too when I saw roman beans (aka cranberry beans) for sale with the park red, dark too pinto I bought a few bags. I similar them because they represent their cast fifty-fifty afterwards a long cooking time. Since I vastly prefer using the tiresome cooker for dried beans than whatsoever other method, roman beans are perfect. I decided to plow them into a elementary baked edible bean side dish. I love making side dishes inwards the tiresome cooker fifty-fifty if I'm making a principal dish approximately other manner because it actually cuts downward on my cooking fourth dimension inwards the evening. I prepped the beans too measured out all of the ingredients the dark earlier too thence got them going inwards the morning. That dark I only heated upward a pork loin I had marinating too heated upward approximately mixed vegetables. Very trivial effort, maximum rewards.

Try the leftover beans nether a fried egg for a quick breakfast.



*Also called honeybells, minneolas are a cross betwixt Duncan grapefruit too a Dancy tangerine.
