then cooked So I found .......... to Save Time for future use- I Rinse the Beans, then Boil in Pot of Water for 2 Minutes, Put the Lid on the Pot, Let sit for 1 Hour, then Drain the Beans in a Strainer &amp; let sit to cool for a bit. I then put 1 - 1.5 Cup Beans in a Ziploc Bag and put the Bags of Beans in the Freezer to use later. .<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1797593950603902921-3566284626958920304?l=helpfulmommyhints.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hd1K_BwQje2_X9LoIbPwWHbTC8U/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hd1K_BwQje2_X9LoIbPwWHbTC8U/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hd1K_BwQje2_X9LoIbPwWHbTC8U/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hd1K_BwQje2_X9LoIbPwWHbTC8U/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>Helpful Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11406985942507395425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1797593950603902921.post-44701066571082532022010-11-15T08:13:00.002-05:002010-11-15T08:16:33.230-05:002010-11-15T08:16:33.230-05:00My mom shared with me- she saves her Junk Mail Return Envelopes- to use for grocery coupons, shopping lists, $$ enevlopes...anything she needs a scrap envelope for.......very resourceful!!!
