Most casseroles take time-time to prepare, time to cook, and time to eat! So what better time for casseroles than those days when you cannot get the car out of the garage because of the 5 foot high snow drift!
Casseroles, stews, and soups: These are all good ways in cool weather to sneak more nutrition into your eating plan.
Dried beans and peas like navy, kidney, black or split, provide fiber, protein, iron, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, potassium, carbohydrates and other B vitamins. In addition, dried beans and peas are low in fat and cholesterol-free.
Plan ahead! Soak dried beans overnight, drain and add fresh water, then cook for two to three hours or until tender. Add rice or pasta, vegetables and lean meat for increased flavor and nutrition. If you use canned beans in soups, add less salt.
You can also experiment with different spices to change the character of your entree.
Enjoy your winter casseroles, soups, and stews!
