Just have beans as a side dish!.
Put lentils into things you're going to eat that are thick, like chili, stew, or soup!.
Add beans to your rice!.
Mash beans and spread them on your sandwiches instead of using mustard (I like adding hummus, which is made from garbanzo beans)!.
Make a bean burrito!.
Think outside the box!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
