What I Made for Dinner: November 10, 2009

White bean stew with sourdough croutons.

Interesting idea. I knew I wanted to make bean stew, so I did a little searching and found a Mayo Clinic "healthy recipe." It seemed to have a good concept but lousy details. For example, for the croutons, it says six people should share one slice of whole-grain bread. Yeah, not in my world.

So I made it a little less healthy by using like half a loaf of sourdough bread. It was really good, although Josh says he doesn't like the texture of beans. I was surprised: I thought the song alone would be enough reason for a nine-year-old to eat a big bowl of beans.
