A Complete Protein

This has to be one of the best vegetarian meals. Cheap and easy to make. You get all your essential amino acids in one meal and is so tasty 😋. I must try making my own baked beans in an effort to reduce the sugar content.

Hi Aliparsnips, I love tomatoes with my breakfast and yours look so good to me and compliment your beans breakfast, simple and healthy 😊

Hi Hidden ,

Mmmm, that looks delicious! If you do make your own baked beans, I hope you'll share your recipe and photo - it would be lovely to see it.

Hope you're having a great day.

One of my favourite comfort foods, as is baked potato & beans.

I pour off most of the sauce & cook'em till they're a bit mushy with a bit of black pepper, though I've spotted low sugar & salt versions.

Homemade ones are tasty, though not such an emergency meal. The special ingredient was molasses, which has a few minerals over sugar.

Sean Hughes, the comedian, wrote a piece about being scathing to vegetarians at a time when all he & his mates could afford was beans on toast.

I’ve not tried the low salt/sugar variety myself but some say they’re not as tasty. I love jacket potato and baked beans as well and beans taste gorgeous on sweet potato.

That’s an interesting fact about Sean Hughes.

I tried to find a copy online, but no luck.

One of my most favourite foods, I love baked beans on toast (I have bought some Heinz no added sugar ones, they have natural Stevia in them instead of sugar and taste different but you get used to it). I always have to have grated cheese on top of mine - yummy.

Thank you for sharing.

I'm not too keen on stevia as it's processed, so not as natural as the manufacturers would have us believe. Wonder if there's xylitol beans available? In the mean time, I'll keep pouring off the sauce, though every time I do that, I think of my friend's aunt, who used t rinse them. I'm not quite that cranky, yet... x

Totally agree with you there Mel as Stevia is processed, not as natural as they make it out to be. Once I have sorted out my diet (I'm not eating any beans at the moment) I will make my own beans and maybe use a little maple syrup or add Xylitol. I'm not quite in to rinsing them either.
