We think that you are bound to find something super tasty to please your game watching crowd.

So many great options to get your daily dose of fiber! I am always a fan of a classic green bean casserole!

I have been cooking with lots of beans lately and am always on the hunt for more recipes! I really like chickpea “chicken salad” (it uses no chicken, but tastes so fresh and yummy).
Going to give a few of these a try!

these are great healthy snacks for game day, something a little different than the typical bean dip we always have.

I love beans! In everything. Being vegan they are big part of my diet. My favorite growing up was pinto beans, as in Heinz baked beans. Now though I love black beans.
