food rave of the day (3/12): beans [View all]

Talk about yet another versatile food that is extremely good for you... and there are so many different varieties with different flavors and different textures.

There's so much you can do with them--from casseroles, to soups, to salads, to falafel and bean cakes and burgers.

And not only do you get a lot of fiber and protein, they're cheap!

What's your favorite kind?
