I plan to post more but if you search you’ll find a lot of meals with beans especially slow cooker meals. Here’s a super-easy recipe from 5 dollar dinners for lentil and brown rice casserole.

I was very intimidated by the whole chicken in the crockpot too, but once I tried it, I realized how easy it was! I still only cook it when I home, though, so that I can watch and make sure it isn’t over/under cooked. Also, I especially like doing it in the crockpot because I can remove all the skin, but the chicken still stays moist!

I’ve been trying to incorporate more nutrition and variety into my meal plans, and I realized I really don’t eat beans, except for in chili or the occassional side dish of black beans. Do you have any tips for healthful recipes that use beans or how you incorporate them? Or lentils? I’ve never cooked them, but it seems like I’m missing a nutrition goldmine!

Thanks! Oh and I’m really enjoying this series of posts!!
