Recreation of ‘Baked Beans’
No everyone tolerates beans very well, and often the canned baked beans are full of sugar and salt. So why not make your own! I have used green peas instead of beans. Green peas are much more nutritious and full of vitamin K, fiber and antioxidants and are very affordable. This makes a great side dish with lunch or dinner.
