Black Beans ~ Stocking Up On Lenten Inspiration #meatlessmonday


For a little Lenten inspiration I hit the canned bean section of Whole Foods in Montclair and ideas popped off the shelf! Black bean soup, black beans and rice (Indian spiced and Cajun Spiced versions), and well as salad ideas filled my thoughts - subsequently these beans filled my cart!

Whole Foods 365 is the company's house brand and surprise surprise, the quality is superior to most national brands. The black beans are just beans, but other Whole Foods 365 products like Peanut Butter, Cookies, and Jams often have much lower sugar and sodium than larger brands brands and the prices are in line, or in some cases lower than, items found in mainline grocery store. Plus, these black gems are organic, so my Lenten Discipline will have limited impact on the environment which goes right along with what this season of transformation is all about.
