So whenever possible -- chili and soups, mostly -- I mash them in a food processor first. He gets the taste of beans, I get a little taste (which isn't so bad) but none of the texture (which is), and we both get the extra nutritional value. Worked really well in a turkey chili I improvised last week! I hate beans but my husband loves them. So whenever possible — chili and soups, mostly — I mash them in a food processor first.

I can only bring myself to try water kefir. Can't do the rest. Next on my list is sprouted flour. Something about "fermented" just seems weird to me.... By the way, do you know anything about kefir and yeast? Would the yeast in the kefir make yeast problems worse or would the probiotics make it better? Does anyone know? Fermented foods….

I think the ingredients are mashed up white kidney beans, garlic, a bit of oil and roasted peppers....or something like that. I had it at a friend's house and it was really good! Serving with those rice crackers that I like so much. I’m using kidney bean this week too…making a dip for our care group.

We eat red beans and rice usually three days a week and rotate that out every other week. I, of course, use a half of a pound of natural smoked Cajun sausage, just to flavor it, but usually just that. Since we live way down here in Louisiana, eating beans is a BIG part of our culture..

It's something my husband wants me to make and I know my 3yo used to love back when I bought stuff out of cans! I plan on trying to use beans more - so recipes coming! @Jenny, I must have your baked bean recipe.

I love beans of all kinds, and have the most delicious, wonderful, and nourishing baked beans recipe, that I can't make, because my husband HATES BEANS. He will eat them in chili, but that's it. He won't even eat refried beans or hummus, because he says "it just makes the texture worse!" Please post more ideas for "hiding" beans. Your blog is fantastic; I love it!

My 5 year old has always been Mr. Picky and we don't cook separate meals here, so if he wouldn't eat what we were having (which was a lot of the time) I would just give him some lunchmeats (we get good quality without all the garbage in them at a smokehouse in Detroit, MI) or something left over from another meal or once in a great while scramble him and egg (I really didn't want to cook separate for him, but I also need him to eat enough protein). I LOVE beans but of the ones that are a staple to me, Kidney are the least favorite. When I make Chili I use pinto and black beans. Just a different thing to maybe try!! Love your blog!!

I have never met someone else who has the same texture issues I do! Beans aren't one of my problems, but so many more of them are the same! Thanks for being honest! Maybe I'll have the courage to try some of my "problem foods" here in the near future. BTW, I love beans, for just the reasons you stated above, but most of all, because they're cheap!!!! Oh, and I found a way to use the nasty soybeans that I had purchased over 2 years ago to make my own soymilk for my oldest who has a caesin allergy (only in pasturized homogenized milk). I poured a bunch into a basin and my kids are going crazy playing with them! A perfect alternative for being outside in our wonderfully cold Michigan Winter! Donielle, I am so glad I found your blog.
