Bean Man: Just in time for Easter next weekend, Bean Girl mixed up a special batch of our 4 Bean Soup Mix. We have been unable to get more of the French Square Jars we normally use so we have packaged the bean mix in our standard 2 pound bags. This is a great addition to your Easter meal as well as by itself. Bean Girl’s recipe for the soup with cooked ham is on the package so if you are having ham, save some to make for a delicious and hearty soup. Even without the ham, you can use a combination of fresh vegetables such as carrots, celery and a touch of garlic – the recipe calls for 2 cups of bean mix, so you’ll be able to make two batches from each package and save some for later! If you follow us on social media, we also posted a picture of our Margarita Grilled Chicken using our Fresh Black Beans and yellow rice made last week – the chicken is marinated using dry margarita mix found in most grocery stores for a zesty twist.
As always, we have our full line of Fresh Beans, Chili Mix, Scottish Oatmeals and Gluten Free Flours along with our Ready to Mix products to satisfy anyone who is gluten intolerant, celiac, vegan, vegetarian or just wants to enjoy a healthy diet. Recipes are found on the packages, the recipe section found on this market and our website.
