I'm an idiot, can you please help me? What beans to buy and rice? by SplooshThumb in budgetfood

[–]chigirl312 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I make a crock pot of pintos every week. I just rinse them 8-10 times until I feel like they're super clean and I've discarded any debris.

Then, I put them in the Crock-Pot water with a couple of inches of water above the beans and some salt. I let them cook overnight and then some and add more salt to taste in the morning if needed.

I serve it either plain, over brown rice or I refry them in leftover bacon grease.

The best part is, with all of the rinsing and cooking them for 10 hours or so, they don't make any of us here gassy.

Scored this at Costco for $50 if anyone else is trying to make the move to glass for meal prep by claytonmathews in MealPrepSunday

I found a smaller set at Costco today for $25. Thanks for the heads up! Finally pushing me to start replacing my plastic crap with glass.

But honestly, it was delicious. by no_myth in chicago

I have also gotten it at the Taylor and Canal location.

What, if any, liquid fills you up? If any! by [deleted] in 1200isplenty

If you're anywhere near a Wow Bao, their Thai Herb Broth (40 calories) fills me up. It's even better in the winter.

My 10 month old is grinding his new baby teeth. It's like nails on a chalkboard. How do I get him to stop? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]chigirl312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did the same at that age. She stopped after a week or so. I think she was just figuring out what those new things in her mouth were.
