Surprisingly you can add beans to smoothies to add protein and to help make it creamy. Start with 1/4 cup cooked and work your way up. I don't even notice them.
@@TheFromScratchFarmhouse I make a "snickers" smoothie. 1/2 cup chickpeas, frozen banana, soy milk (or milk of choice, I'm just lactose intolerant), cocoa powder, a date, peanut butter or peanut butter powder. Blend!
Bless you Stacey, you really look ready to deliver this baby in this video. You are amazing! I loved this video. Can't wait to meet the new little member of your family. Please try to rest.
Sweet Staci, such a great video!! Love that bump! You are especially beautiful when you are expecting!! Praying for a wonderful, fast labor and less pain than you usually have. Start some “laborade” with a big strong batch of red raspberry leaf tea. Thank you for all the awesome meal prep ideas! Loved seeing your little helper in the kitchen 😊 This year I want to do this prep regularly because I hate scrambling to figure a meal when everyone is whining of hunger. I also have a lot of beans that need to be used… feeling inspired now to find some ways to cook them! Can’t wait to hear about your birth! Xoxo from Jacksonville, Florida 💕
I make a crock pot of beans each week on Monday. Monday beans as side dish Tuesday refried beans with taco tuesday Wednesday beans and greens for breakfast with a fried egg Thurday make some freezer breakfast burittos Friday if any left make a burritto bowl for lunch
@@TheFromScratchFarmhouse It's so easy it's funny! Take dry beans and throw in crock pot, fill with water and add lid and walk away....when beans are soft and cooked, salt and season. As beans cook they create a broth, great over a bowl of rice, lime rice, or Spanish rice.
@@TheFromScratchFarmhouse, Jessica's recipe had meat in it, but I add more meat (usually sausage) and heat it all up in a cast iron skillet and then melt cheese on top. My husband loves to use it as a dip for tortilla chips.
Staci, I just found your channel earlier and I've been binge watching your videos. You did look like you had were having labor pains in one scene, lol. Lord willing, you'll be holding your baby soon. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and strategies for organization. Your organized spaces are restful and inspiring. God bless!
This week I made potato navy bean soup with a ham hock, split pea and potato bc there was a lot of stock from the hock, refried beans from pintos for taco night and I have plans for a sweet potato sausage and white bean soup. We also love minestrone. I love bean soups but my husband needs it mixed up with something not just strait bean soup. You can make hummus from any kind of bean as well. Freeze and have for easy snack or lunches.
Beans can be used blended and seasoned as dip for chips, veg. You can also thin them more and make sauces. I like to add them to meals like one would with fresh tomatoes.
Our family loves rice and beans and you can cook dry beans very quickly with an instapot. Refried beans are great with tortillas and cheese, also meat and salsa. Bean soup with ham is another favorite with fresh bread or corn bread.
With BOTH of my pregnancies, I never dialated and had to have a c-section with the first (she was 10 lbs 10 ozs and 3 days shy of a month over due). The same thing happened with my twins and they were 7 lbs 4 ozs and 6 lb 1 ounce. Bless you dear woman. New to your channel. Can't wait to see the rest of your wonderful journey.
Oh man! I’m thankful my body does labor pretty well once it gets going (often with induction) but it sure doesn’t feel in a hurry. 😅 Thank you for being here. ❤️
Regarding beans: Calico beans (yum!), 16 bean soup, refried of course, bean burritos (Simply Mama Cooks and Rachel Cooks With Love are two wonderful Mexican cooking channels. Simply Mama Cooks has an amazing Charro beans recipe that works wonderfully in the slow cooker or pressure cooker depending on what your needs are), hot or cold bean dips too. My husband prefers no meat, all bean nachos. White chicken chili. Mujadara with some naan or sourdough fry bread (🥰) if you enjoy reading cookbooks, Moosewood Restaurant cookbooks are vegetarian and would likely have good ideas. ❤❤❤
I use beans in Turkey/beef taco’s or burrito bowls, chilli/chilli dogs, Sausage Casserole, white beans chicken noodle soup, black beans in street corn,
Great tips. You always amaze me with how much you accomplish. I started canning beans last year. Love having them on hand. I add black beans in with my taco meat to stretch it. Delicious! Praying for safe, delivery for you and new baby. ❤️🙏🏻Val C
Cowboy Caviar is a great and tasty way to use up beans. I make a batch almost every week for snacks. My grandkids love it, and they get a ton of veggies!
excellent videos.... appreciate all your hard work and dedication....God bless your family... as Indians, we use legumes and beans all the time as curry side dishes for roti(kind of tortillas) or eat with hot white rice... it also makes good beans filling-- burrito style using taco seasoning etc...can make bean soup like Minestrone...makes excellent bean patties( I mix chopped veggies and cooked rice in the patties filling as well) for burgers or crisp toast the patties on cast iron and eat as snack as is...side of relish or ketchup is good it is excellent source of protein and soaking the beans overnight and cooking them in Instant pot until soft and mushy...is good for gut health...
You can make a bean dip, hummus, gravy, and dressings with beans. Refried beans, soups stews and chili’s. Make bean patties or bean balls and try adding beans to pasta or a pasta sauce. I make a great gluten free silken gravy with garbanzo beans. My family loves it. Google silky chickpea gravy and it will come up.
Also, I just learned you can add a can of beans to boxed cake mix instead of adding the oil and the eggs. I’ve never tried it but the youtuber watched said her children love the cakes she makes them. 😊
Regarding beans and some ideas of what you might do. We eat a lot of beans and I have just started to buy them bulk from Azure (after watching one of your videos about Azure standard). We use them in chilli’s, we cook them with rice (Jamaican rice and peas) and our favorite dish Jamaican stew peas. The above mentioned dishes use kidney beans or black beans. Also, for now we only use the instant pot to cook the beans, but I plan to, in the future, make large batch and put them in the freezer. Thank you for making good videos!
I have beans to use up too, so that’s been on my mind.. going to try black bean brownies, hummus for chickpeas, warm cheesy bean dip to eat with tortilla chips or burritos, and blending white beans to thicken sauces/soups and add protein
Looks like you have the makings for 5, or 8 bean soup! It's great when having a new baby in the winter to have a pot of winter soup. Nourish with veggies, bone broth and scraps of meat, like ham or turkey left from holidays. Take care of yourself and enjoy your new little one!
Granola 12 cups oatmeal 2 cups nuts 3 cups shredded coconut Mix in separate bowl 1/2 cup butter 1 cup coconut oil 1 1/4 cup maple syrup 3/4 cup brown or maple sugar 3 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 250 degrees for 45 minutes
My 2024 goal is to make more meals from scratch. My husband likes the JD Breakfast bowls, instead of spending almost $4 per bowl I have started making these bowls from scratch. Potatoes, eggs, sausage/bacon or? with a little shredded cheddar cheese on top the, throw them in the freezer when you're ready take them out and pop it in the microwave, it is just as good or better than what you buy already made and so much healthier without preservatives...And a fraction of the cost!!
Best of luck on your delivery. I see you use the food nanny kamut. I too use this flour and love it. I was living a gluten free life style until I found it. Once when they ran out of flour I tried some from Amazon but it was milled very course and none of my stuff turned out. I ended up throwing the flour out. I am new to Azure and see they sell kamut, have you ever tried it? Wonder how it compares. Of course I love supporting the food nanny but need a back up plan for when they are out.
Yes! I do also buy kamut berries from Azure and I do really like them. However, I mill them myself, so the flour definitely doesn't turn out as nice and fluffy unless I take the time to sift it.
I am 54 years old and live with my parents because they need my help. My Dad is Diabetic and 2 years ago he had a stroke. We have learned that if he eats beans every evening his blood sugar stays stable throughout the night. This is CRITICAL. So every evening he eats some kind of bean dish - soup, salad, dip, tacos, whatever. Having home canned beans on hand has been a no brained and is so easy to do, also things like split pea soup or sausage and beans has really been helpful. Use up those beans, so good for you! Ask yourself, what if you HAD to eat them?

Thank you! I sure thought I would have this baby that day! 😅
I love making chili. My recipe uses three different types of beans and I sometimes change out which beans I use. Black Bean Salad is also really good!
Oh black bean salad is one I haven’t thought of! Thank you. ❤️
Chili is absolutely my go to for "this jar of dried beans is almost done and I'm tired of looking at it." 😊
what kind of beans
Eating Well just did an article on 15 skillet recipes that begin with beans. There are some yummy looking ideas in it.
Ok, great, thank you!
Thanks for the video! I found I can cook dry beans in just 25 minutes in my small pressure cooker.
Glad you liked it! I should definitely experiment more with them. I do have a pressure cooker! Thank you!

I make a crock pot of beans each week on Monday.
Monday beans as side dish
Tuesday refried beans with taco tuesday
Wednesday beans and greens for breakfast with a fried egg
Thurday make some freezer breakfast burittos
Friday if any left make a burritto bowl for lunch
Thank you! Ok please tell me more about the crockpot of beans. What kind? Canned or dry? How do you cook them? What do you add?

I live by myself but I am planning to can seasoned pinto beans for making refried beans. There are many videos on youtube for this.
You could also can some of Jessica's (from 3 Rivers Homestead) refried beans. They are VERY good!
Great idea, thank you! Now I need ideas for using refried beans besides tacos/enchiladas.😅
@@TheFromScratchFarmhouse, Jessica's recipe had meat in it, but I add more meat (usually sausage) and heat it all up in a cast iron skillet and then melt cheese on top. My husband loves to use it as a dip for tortilla chips.
@TheFromScratchFarmhouse I like to make nachos and bean and cheese freezer burritos
Try black bean tortillas. You can also cut the tortillas into wedges, bake and you have black bean chips.
That's a great idea, thank you!
❤ we have changed our lifestyle so much.

Very creative and inspiring! Good luck during the challenge. I love all the things for the kids to be more self dependent for when the baby comes.
Thank you! Yes, that has been so helpful!

Great idea to make them into dips! Thank you!

Ezekiel bread or muffins uses beans, barley, lentils & millet
Oh that's a great idea!
You can make Chilli, Louisiana Style Red Beans and Rice, Taco Soup ground beef or chicken and Tamale pie with cornbread.
We love black beans in breakfast burritos with roasted sweet potatoes, scrambled eggs, sausage, peppers & onions.
mmm... that sounds good!
Black bean brownies are delicious., as well as minestrone.
I’m going to have to try the brownies. 😅
