Like most of the world, the first part of the year we are really focused on starting new and making healthier choices when it comes to our meal preparation.  In addition to meal planning every week we have made it a point to add new and healthier options to our recipes.  I am sure you and your family have certain recipes that are favorites but maybe those favorites aren’t so wholesome or great for you.

One ingredient that we are trying to add to our meals is beans.  S&W Beans have always been my go to brand when adding beans to my meals and recipes.  Why do I choose S&W Beans?  Mostly because they have the highest standards in the industry, demonstrating their premium quality for over 120 years.  Beans are so versatile, you can use them in salads, soups, casseroles, chili and dips.  With the addition of beans to any family favorite recipe added health benefits comes along with the great taste and protein.

I have a love for easy recipes but especially for easy one dish or one pot recipes because I am not a fan of dishes or mess in the kitchen.  I have found a great way to bring the health benefits of black beans to my family with this delicious and easy casserole recipe.
