U.S. dietary guidelines should emphasize beans and lentils as protein, new proposal says

14. Daughter got me to try black beans with diced sweet patato, cumin, garlic, onion, salsa

It is to die for! She has leftovers with poached egg for breakfast.

Because is looks a bit Arizona style 'wintry' today here, I made a pot of stewed lentils with cumin, ginger, garlic, onion, turmeric, and a bit of red chili flakes. Perfect with some plain low fat yogurt stirred in. I generally serve with some brown rice for supper meals.

Love a side of lentils with a spinach dish called saag aloo too.

Hummus is a real help in summer here. Nourishing and tasty, but not too heavy. I make bigger batches, divide it up and freeze. Good to have on hand and fun to experiment with different seasonings and/or additions.

People who may have some digestive issues with legumes often find the issues go away as their bodies get used to the food. Also, Bean-O helps provide enzymes to get one's digestive track more able to process legumes. After a while, no problems.
