TUESDAY NIGHT WHITE BEANS
Although the name of this recipe says it's for Tuesdays, I generally make this recipe on Fridays, when Catholic practise says flesh meat is verboten. It's got a wonderful flavour, and works well with a Mexican dish any day of the week. The recipe calls for Great Northern or Navy beans, but I prefer Goya Small White Beans. Different beans for different folks, I suppose. (I got this recipe from Anne Byrn's "Dinner Doctor" book. I don't think she's Catholic, because the large amount of cassaroles seems to say that she's Lutheran. =D)
