Beans and rice for the win!
As a mom of many, I know firsthand how hard it can be to feed a crowd. One of the staples in my arsenal: beans and rice. Or in my case, beans and quinoa. There are seriously SO many dishes you can prepare with these simple, cheap ingredients! (Well, quinoa isn’t always cheap, but you can find it for a pretty good price at Aldi or Azure Standard.)
We not only eat beans and rice (or quinoa) for lunch and dinner, but you can also make some delicious breakfast and desserts with them, too!
Before we get started.
Before we get into all the recipes, there are somethings everyone should know about beans and rice… and quinoa. All beans and rice (any legume, grain, or seed, to be precise) contain things called enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid. Enzyme inhibitors help keep the beans dry and dormant until they are soaked and start to sprout. Phytic acid, or phytate, binds to minerals, metals, and anything else found in your liver and intestines and takes them out of the body with it.
While phytic acid can be a powerful antioxidant ridding our organs of heavy metals and other toxins, eating too many grains, seeds, or beans that have not been sprouted or soaked can lead to serious mineral deficiencies and even bone loss. What’s the key to making beans and rice digestible? Soaking!
Soaking beans, rice, and quinoa neutralizes the enzyme inhibitors and helps the food start to produce beneficial digestive enzymes, such as lactobacilli. These enzymes and organisms break down and neutralize the phytic acid, making your beans and rice (and quinoa) wonderfully digestible.

If you’re like, “Ok, how it the world do I soak and/or sprout my beans and rice, and quinoa?” I have an article linked below to help you out.
