Ground to Cup Coffee Counter Culture Coffee Amazing Black Bean Brownies Recipe It kills me that I can't take credit for today's black bean brownie recipe. As strange as it sounds (we're talking about brownies packed with pureed black beans), this recipe from a new book by Ania Catalano delivers deliciously dense, bite-sized squares of melt-in-your-mouth fudge-textured brownies. Keep in mind I'm someone who comes across hundreds of brownie recipes a year, it wasn't high on my to-do list to feature yet another brownie recipe. Ania's new book is called Baking with Agave Nectar. So, like I said - there are some quirky facets to this particular brownie recipe. - More Chocolate Recipes - - More Baked Goods Recipes - For those of you who have a hard time tracking down agave nectar (which is becoming much more readily available) substitute honey 1:1 for the agave nectar. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Melt the chocolate and butter in a glass bowl in the microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on high. Add the bean/chocolate mixture to the coffee/chocolate mixture. Print Recipe

In a study published in the February issue of theJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, a team of Korean researchers studied the effects of black soya in 32 rats. The researchers allowed the rodents to gorge on a fatty diet supplemented with various levels of black soya. After two weeks, the rats getting 10 percent of their energy from black soya gained half as much weight as those in the control group, and their total blood cholesterol and LDL (so-called "bad") cholesterol fell by 25 percent and 10 percent, respectively. According to David Bender, sub-dean at the Royal Free and University College Medical School in London, soya protein may reduce the production of new fatty acids and cholesterol by affecting fat metabolism in the liver and adipose tissue.

Barb's Easy Stove-top Beans When we started the Eat Right for Your Type Blood Type Diet , we discovered that both of us were supposed to avoid pork and kidney beans and I was supposed to avoid tomatoes. Peter D'Adamo, who wrote the book linked to above which describes the diet, does say that you can eat a "forbidden" food if it's only a small percentage of the ingredients in a given dish. If I had Type O blood, as my husband does, I probably would have added a chopped bell pepper, red or green, with the onions and apple.
