In the summer it's too hot to do much in my kitchen and I am quite content to eat beans as they are a low glycemic food. I always eat canned beans (except for the desert locavore experiment). I rinse them as canned beans have too much salt. I frequently mix the beans with BBQ sauce or salsa and add other vegetables and a grain like brown rice or quinoa. Very feeling. Sometimes I add canned beans like white cannelini beans or red kidney beans to a salad which becomes the salad's protein. I may add a sprinkling of cheese or a diced hard boiled egg. Beans are still a deal. At Trader Joe's I've found refried low fat black beans with jalapenos. I add some salsa, now America's favorite condiment, and eat it with some chips or spread on whole wheat pita. Mary,

I tried cooking beans once or twice in years past, but they never were as soft as I wanted them. I will try again, using your tip about the salt. Thanks.
