Bring on the Beans

This one might seem a bit weird- beans are a very specific food, why do we need to eat more of them? Hear me out. Beans are a super environmentally friendly source of protein- James Hamblin wrote an article, showing that if every American just switched eating beans for beef, we could achieve almost 75% of our 2020 greenhouse gas reduction goals (which, no, we certainly did not achieve). So why not try eating more beans this year? Here are a few of my favorite, bean-based recipes.
