One of my goals for 2018 is to push myself outside my kitchen comfort level. To push myself to try new recipes, to change up recipes that I love and to try recipes that have always scared me or I thought would be crazy hard to make. When S&W Beans asked me to change up a chef-inspired recipe and make it healthier with S&W Black Beans I was all in for this challenge. I spent some time going through cookbooks, Pinterest and other sites trying to decide what recipe I should try and play with. As I was sitting at my desk I kept seeing all of these chocolate recipes and figured why not try and make a Black Bean Brownies recipe.

Now that we are in our new house and I actually have a pantry and storage I am so excited to keep more S&W Beans on hand. They are so versatile and a great addition to so many recipes.
I also love that they are a great source of magnesium which lowers your risk of diabetes. My Dad is a diabetic and I really try to do whatever I can to lower our risk of Diabetes. I also read on the S&W website that research shows that people who eat beans weigh less.
I had no idea that eating four servings of beans a week can lower your risk of heart disease by 14%! That is amazing. I really love the idea of incorporating more beans into our diets.
I always use them in soups and chili's but after looking at the S&W Beans Recipe Page I realized there are so many other ways I could be using beans.
The S&W Beans Recipe Page is the perfect place to visit for more great inspiration and ideas for cooking with not only Black Beans but all of the varieties offered by S&W.
