Beans

I was at my friend Diana's the other day and she was cooking beans. I asked her what she was making, and she told me she was just cooking them and freezing for later. Wow, what a concept! I know beans are cheaper when purchased dried rather than in the can, but it just never occured to me to cook my own and freeze them. Beans are generally almost a dollar a can or more if you buy the brand name vs $1 or less to buy a bag. I just got 4 containers of beans out of 1 bag for under a dollar. Savings of $3, and it really required very little work. Soak em overnite, simmer 1-2 hours the next day and freeze. Easy! Thanks Diana.
