Ok, so Dh does not like beans, as in when I meet him, he would not eat beans at all, its a texture thing or its a combo of a texture thing and a raised that way thing, when it comes to his food habits, I found often it was more what he had as a child, then what he does or not like per say but on some textures, he is stubborn..
Sometimes, I blend things into the sauces or the bases to hide them from him, but slowly over the years, his bean rules has been broken, the best one that he can handle is a navy bean or a black eyed bean, they are smaller and don’t seem to bother him near as much, I have been able to start adding them to soups, and thank god chili, but honestly, beanless chili is just not chili to me..
But a full bean salad is something I have not done in year and when I say, year’s I mean close to 15 by my memory, so when I made a five bean salad yesterday for lunch, I know that I don’t like the traditional oil and vinegar with spices, so I called mom and she said our family recipe for coleslaw will work, so I tried that, other then adding in some turmic, and it was good, but just good..
So I thought ‘I would reach out to the readers, do you have a totally amazing five bean salad dressing? Open to any and all idea’s
Just another Day on the Farm 
Ha! I’m with your fussy hubby on the five bean salad.
As much as I wish it weren’t so, I actually hate five bean salad. The usual sugary vinaigrette only makes me hate it more.
Anxious to see if anyone’s got a miracle in their recipe-box…
How do I stop getting Just Another Day at the farm? I have tried to unsubscribe and it doesn’t seem to allow me too. Help, please
Hi, I am afraid that is a auto system from wordpress – Just as I can’t sign anyone up, I can’t remove them either, its my understanding that at the bottom of the email, they should have a link that allows you to stop getting the mails, Does anyone else have any other helpful hints on how to help them stop getting the emails?
Love reading you email updates! Keep it up!
Hey FG, you asked about dressings a couple of days ago; so, when this popped up in my inbox this morning, thought you might be interested (if not in the dressing, then maybe the actual recipe?; )
She (Carolyn) usually tries to knock down the calorie count with “Lite”& “fat free” products but some(a lot of)times I think that’s counter-productive… Better to eat less of the real, unaltered version (which our bodies CAN actually recognise as Food (IMHO; )
Forgot to mention: I’d most likely use honey in place of sugar here. Also, adding a few herbs (depending on what I was using it for; ) might also be in order…
