They are incredibly affordable and taste fine. I buy canned black beans for burritos and canned white beans / chick pears for hummus. Canned beans are great!

Steam up her favorites sprinkle a little cheese over them and serve it over couscous, can be a little messy with the couscous, so you can replace it with rice, it's delicious and easy. Oh and add a little humus to the end product for an additional flavor. There is Also chili made easy. (If you're ok with canned beans) use a can of white kidney beans, a can of black kidney beans, and a can of diced tomatoes. Add chili and cumin to taste and you have a wonderful vegetarian chili. As always top with cheese and your favorite mexican trimmings (sour cream, avocado or salsa) Note: you can add crumbled tofu to add texture, or ground turkey, both are delicious!

They are sometimes mislabeled in markets, but it is OK because they can be substituted for each other in recipes like the sweet potato pancakes. here is a good link to refer to for a good explanation : http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/sweetpotato.html Yams and sweet potatoes- they are actually two different tubers- totally different, yet taste and even look sort of similar.

I said that sweet potatoes were actually yams, not potatoes at all. Right? Last night at dinner we were arguing about whether potatoes were related to sweet potatoes.

My 3-year-old only wants pancakes and waffles for breakfast... every day. The consistancy was a little stickier than normal pancakes but we both loved them. Plus, my 9-month old was able to enjoy the sweet potato puree. I tried J.S.’s sweet potato pancakes and they were great! My 3-year-old only wants pancakes and waffles for breakfast… every day.

I like that idea you said of mixing ground up spinach in the brownies. Yum! I used to eat a lot of spinach squares which have cheese and egg in them. Those are tasty. Sounds tasty!
