Quick meals made with canned beans

and different ways to enjoy them

Lately, I’ve been eating a lot of canned beans. I often pick throughout the day, eat my kids’ leftovers, and skip lunch. But I’m trying to be more mindful of eating a nutritious lunch that makes me feel good, and canned beans are a quick way to make a healthy meal. I love to cook beans slowly, but canned beans are a great alternative, and they don’t require much effort to make them taste great. I add them to a bowl or plate of tomatoes, raw vegetables, salad, feta cheese, eggs, cured meat, or anything else I can find in the fridge or garden.

I’ve included my recipe for canned beans, spiced pumpkin seeds, and how to boil the perfect egg below.
