Holy toledo. You are amazing, Sandra. First of all, to make all this stuff using BEANS, and then to blog about it. You are my inspiration. I can't wait to try them all. So will you send me all of them? Just kidding. I will try to be ambitious and try making them. I think I will start with the chili. It is truly making my mouth water. mmmmmmmm. xxoo
I've heard mixed reviews on the bean brownies. What do you think?
Also, how much Beano has your family gone through this week?
Christina, the brownies are excellent. I think some recipes replace the butter with the beans. This one just adds beans. It still has all the unhealthy components, leaving them delicious.
No Beano. We all survived. :0) It really hasn't been bad.
