Put some dried beans, some veggies like carrots, celery, onions, parsnips (and other hard veggies that can stand up to long cooking times) along with some water (or broth) to cover, a bay leaf and some salt and pepper in the crockpot and let it go all day while you're at work. When you get home, you can add pasta, rice, potatoes and quick-cooking veggies (like peas, corn, &c), let it cook for another 30min or so, and ta-da! Cheap, easy dinner!

I have always been scared of dried beans too. Now, I may have to try it. Oh and those cheesy beans and rice look delicious. congrats on being certified. I have always been scared of dried beans too.

I'm the opposite of you, it took me a long time to accept canned beans and I still hesitate to use them in soups... If you have a crockpot, I love to soak beans overnight, throw them in the crockpot in the morning with chopped onion, celery, carrots, garlic, ham (optional), and spices and set it on low. When I get home 9-10 hours later I have perfectly done bean soup with very little effort! I love dried beans!

Never done it, but I want to try now. I think your bean/yogurt/flax snack sounds really good. Would never thought of that combo, but all great sources of protein! So glad you'll be substituting soon...can't wait to read some on-the-job posts! :) You’ve inspired me to buy dry beans. Never done it, but I want to try now.

I have never made beans from scratch. It is actually surprising to me that the Clean Eating magazine says to used canned beans, I guess out of convenience. Yes, I mash the chick peas with a fork. I don't think they mash that well, so yes some are still semi-whole. I add a little of the vinaigrette from the magazine to make it a little easier to mash them. Congrats Heather!

Cooking beans from scratch really intimidates me but I know it can save a boat load of money. I am hoping that once my current canned supply runs out that I will go to dried beans.
