I’m eating 1 cup of beans a day for 30 days to see if it really helps with perimenopause symptoms. Here’s my recipe for Pinto Beans. Rinse 2 cups of pinto beans and drain. In a large pot at the beans and 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil, down to a simmer and cover with a lid for one hour. Then add half an onion, 2-3 garlic cloves and about 1 1/2 tsp’s of salt. Cover with a lid and simmer for another hour. #pintobeans #beanrecipes
