I clearly love to cook but I am so much more than that. I am a wife, a mother of two, digital marketing executive and an Autism support coach. Yep! My hands are full!

Author's Notes

Once you need to make the beans for your meal, just move to the refrigerator to start defrosting overnight. But if you forget to do that, no worries! Just place the beans in a saucepan, add whatever seasonings you want into it and cook on low so the beans slowly warm-up and break apart from each other. Stir occasionally and carefully so you don’t break up the beans too much.
