Today's Recipe

Comment: I will definitely be making these for Anne. I could do black beans for Amy; and serve them with sour cream; Navy beans for Kelly and serve them with ketchup; Garbanzo beans and serve them with cheese for Edith; and for me... all together in a medley with horseradish and raw onion! For the kids - we'll sneak them in and I'll report back later...
