TODAY on MHTV
:  Beans are a staple in my household. When I’m in a pinch or trying to add protein without all the meat (and on the cheap), I head straight for the beans in my pantry.  One basic pot of cannellini and kidney beans can be served on its own or used as the base for other dishes including Tuscan beans and greens, and Vietnamese-inspired bean and veggie sliders.

    Dear Lo,

    Thanks for updating us. I always read
    all of the nessages on here. Being a male
    cook, I do agree that Mr. Contratti should
    be one of the returning guests on a new
    epsiode of Mad Hungry.

    You could definitely see your expertise within the paintings you write. The arena hopes for even more passionate writers like you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. All the time follow your heart.
