So true. Try Beano.
Beans are saving me this winter. My appetite is bigger than it was in the summer probably because my body is trying to stay warm. Yesterday I ate a bowl of hummus on cucumbers for a mid morning snack. It was a pretty good sized bowl and it filled me up and kept me happy for 5 hours!
My favorite way to eat beans is in hummus but I also like them in salads, in soups, and black beans fresh out of the pressure cooker as a side dish. When I eat them with hummus I like to divide a whole wheat pita into 2 thin pieces (sometimes you need to toast it a minute so it will separate easily) and then toast those pieces until they are crispy and use them as crackers for the hummus. Search for a good quality pita with as few ingredients as possible and store them in the fridge. The homemade pita chips and hummus are filling and make a very satisfying snack. Sometimes I will have that everyday!
How do you eat your magical fruit?

Hi Robin! Found your blog originally through Celia, and now I love your blog too! You are very inspiring and I love reading about what you are eating and how you are feeling about it. I also love beans, and could eat them all the time. Lately, I have been roasting chickpeas and eating them crunchy. Yum! Keep up the great work and the great posts!
I love black beans and eat them over a head of romaine at lunch with 1/4 avocado and red onion and some salsa..kind of a "taco salad" if you will. I never get tired of it!!

My favorite is BlackBean, Quinoa & SweetPotato Croquettes (or patties) by Dreena Burton here: http://trueslant.com/dreenaburton/2010/04/29/recipe-for-gluten-free-quinoa-black-bean-sweet-potato-patties-with-pumpkin-seed-chipotle-cream/ (but I don't usually make the chipotle cream.)
Almost as good is fatfreevegan's version here: http://fatfreevegan.com/blog/2010/05/06/sweet-potato-black-bean-quinoa-burger/print/
