The Everything Beans Bookis a Great Resource
Is your grocery budget struggling?
Do you wish you could improve your family’s nutrition without breaking the bank?
Have you always wanted to use dry beans, but you’re afraid of the complexity of cooking them or just don’t have any good recipes?
I’m thrilled to share an incredibly comprehensive resource explaining everything you want to know about beans and legumes.
- What’s healthy about beans?
- How do I cook with dry beans?
- How do I cook and store in bulk?
- What about picky eaters (the bean haters of the world)?
- How do I avoid gas?
- How do I get past the texture?
- And of course, 30 recipes from appetizer to dessert (Black Bean Brownies!), all spotlighting the most frugal and nourishing food I know: beans.
Beyond recipes, The Everything Beans Book also offers over 20 pages of information to facilitate your new love of beans and make sure you can cook with dry beans without any stress, and you even get the Kindle and Nook versions for free when you buy the PDF.
“Now that gas prices and grocery prices seem to be going up, up, up, it is a refreshing (and encouraging) change of pace to come
across a great resource dedicated to frugal, flavorful meals. Katie’s newest e-book, The Everything Beans Book is a fantastic, well-designed book. She de-mystifies beans and legumes and offers information and ideas on the how, when and why to use these frugal, flavor-packed gems, from tips on using canned beans to techniques for cooking them from dried as well as encouragement for even the most legume-a-phobes amongst us.” (Sarah of Heartland Renaissance) (no longer available)
Beans, beans and more beans!
You’ll find recipes for homemade beans and rice, four styles, refried beans, wraps, Mexican fare, soups, pasta dishes, and even a dessert!
The only thing missing is homemade baked beans, just because I haven’t found a recipe I loved. (I do include links to two choices anyway.)
If you loved Healthy Snacks to Go, you’ll find similar helpful icons and familiar formatting to make sure everyone has success with every recipe.
I worked hard with recipe testers to make sure even the most nervous newlywed, new to the kitchen, could cook with beans with ease. Every recipe also includes frugal tips and substitution ideas so those of you who like to play with you recipes have somewhere to start. In essence, most dishes have enough extra versions that one could almost say there are 100 beans recipes in these 95 pages!
Beyond recipes, The Everything Beans Book also offers over 20 pages of information to facilitate your new love of beans and make sure you can cook with dry beans without any stress.There is also a 2 week meal plan using recipes from the book including shopping list and prep lists so cooking is super straightforward and easy!
“I looked through the ebook today and loved it. The recipes look great and will be so helpful as grocery prices rise. I loved all the extra information you added with each recipe; the improv cook in me will use those tips! But it wasn’t just a cookbook. I found it to be a thorough education about the nutrition of beans!” (CW, a recipe tester)

“Pasta with White Bean Sauce is an easy white sauce, but the flavor is impressive! The beans help thicken the sauce, while boosting the protein and fiber. I admit, I was pleasantly surprised at just how good this sauce recipe is!” Tammy’s Recipes

Chickpea Wraps…good for the bean haters among you!
Black Bean Soup
I have had this book for about 6 months and I love it. I try to make at least two recipes from it a month, sometimes more. This is a great cookbook for someone looking to save money on their grocery budget, or someone who is trying to eat healthier. My family loves the recipe for Black Bean Brownies! I don’t have to feel guilty telling my 4 year old that he can have another brownie with this recipe. We also love the Black Bean Burgers. There are lots of good and kid friendly recipes in this book. Anonymous recipe tester
“I loved your recipes! I made the black bean brownies, chili, burgers, lentil stew, Black Bean soup, Chicken rice-a-roni, Cuban black beans and rice & spaghetti and pinto bean pasta. They were all 
delicious! I had my folks over as well, and they really enjoyed all of them too. The brownies were amazing. I never would have thought of that! Just wanted to let you know they were great as I would have expected from your recipes.” (Rene of Budget Saving Mom – link no longer available)
Why Pay for Recipes?
…when they’re free everywhere on the web? I do think paid content on a blog has its place, and here’s why The Everything Beans Book is well worth your money:
- It’s exactly what you need – frugal, bean-based recipes to cut your budget and increase your nutrition.
- You get a hefty amount of informative text, all in one place.
- Well tested recipes! Over two dozen recipe testers worked hard to make sure all the recipes are not only delicious, but easy enough for a nervous newlywed to understand. You can cook beans! In contrast, some bloggers (maybe me, ahem) might make a recipe once, type it up quickly and even hit “publish” without reading through it carefully because it’s bedtime. The Everything Beans Book is very much the opposite.
- It’s been meticulously edited by my crack team of helpers and the recipe testers.
- Easily printable and formatted for your kitchen.
- Although some recipes are already available online, they have been rigorously updated, extended and enhanced. I guarantee there will always be content that remains exclusive to the eBook and never online.
- And just in case you enjoy Kitchen Stewardship®, purchasing eBooks really supports the rest of what I do for free here on the blog (including the free soaked grains ebook coming next month!).
“Katie has done a fantastic job putting together an all-purpose book about beans. She includes a huge variety of recipes. Katie has the heart of a researcher. She is a wealth of information when it comes to nutrition and quite honestly, she’s my go-to girl when I want to know the nitty gritty details about food science. So, know that you’re going to learn a lot from this book — not just how to cook a bean!” (Jessica Fisher of Life as Mom)
