Trying to find recipes for your Super Bowl party?  This calzone starts with refrigerated pizza crust and is filled with a spicy beef and cheese filling. It’s easy to make and serve. It can also be made in advance and frozen! 

   

White Bean Veggie Soup

Wednesday, 20 January 2010 17:25

January is fiber and bean month.  I say this because it is also a month when many diet and exercise resolutions are made.  Beans are one of the most heart-healthy foods.  They are high in complex carbohydrates, protein, dietary fiber and iron.  There is less than two percent fat in dry beans and no cholesterol.  Including more beans in your diet is a natural way to increase fiber in your diet.
