Sorry everyone! I forgot to write my Health Benefit Tip!
Here it is!
Pinto Beans:
Pinto beans are a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber, as are most other beans. In addition to lowering cholesterol, pinto beans' high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making these beans an especially good choice for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia...Pinto beans, like other beans, are rich in fiber. A cup of cooked pinto beans provides 58.8% of the recommended daily intake for fiber...A study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine confirms that eating high fiber foods, such as pinto beans, helps prevent heart disease. Almost 10,000 American adults participated in this study and were followed for 19 years. People eating the most fiber, 21 grams per day, had 12% less coronary heart disease (CHD) and 11% less cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to those eating the least, 5 grams daily.
All that's just a small example of all Pinto Beans can do for you! Check out this website to learn more:

Nice start to your blog, especially the recipes and pictures! We have been eating gluten free for three years now since my significant other discovered he is gluten intolerant. I added your blog to my useful links list on my website. Lots of lessons learned that I share on my blog as well: www.nutritionmassage.com
