July 2: Celebrate National Bean Day with Creative Bean Recipes
National Bean Day is a wonderful event. It gives us the opportunity to celebrate a food that's a staple in many of our diets. Adding a theme to your meals on the day, perhaps by throwing in some green beans with your meal, is a great way to make nutritious food fun. It will also help young ones to appreciate the food that's on the table.
There are many recipes that can help your imagination with beans to run wild. You might choose to make a heartening soup, a delicious stir fry, or roast some vegetables, garnishing them with garlic, olive oil and some freshly cracked black pepper. Another great idea is to create a popular twist on old favorites, perhaps by using some different beans for one of your family's best-loved recipes.
Here at Dishfolio, we've compiled a series of food ideas that will help you to make the most out of this food holiday with loads of bean recipes!
