    For less gas, when you soak the beans, add a little apple cider vinegar (or any vinegar would do). The longer you let them soak, the less gas they will produce also. I try and soak mine for 1 1/2 – 2 days. Drain and rinse the beans. Cook how you desire. I like to use my crock pot for beans. It’s easy and I don’t have to check on it. I usually add smoked ham hocks or ham to my beans for flavor before cooking. I add salt and butter (and hickory smoke flavor, if using ham that is not smoked) to my bowl before eating. Some of my kids don’t care for beans, so I have been making them for lunches and storing them in the fridge (I homeschool, so all my kids are at home and they can always have something else for lunch). This also makes it easy for my husband to take some to work for his lunch as well. Thanks for the recipes! 🙂

    Hi, Penny
    Gosh I really need to add my recipe on here, when I get the chance to make and post it (great idea you have here). It’s Santo Domingan carribean beans and rice. I learned it a long time ago as a little girl from my grandmothers next door neighbors who were from Santo Domingo and they make theirs with green pigeon peas. I love it and make it usually twice a month. I’ll keep in mind to post here, can’t wait to try some of these great recipes, especially the lime cilantro rice, yummy! Great Post!! ~Christina
