Recipe Monday....

I love beans, I really do.
I usually use dry beans and soak them overnight, but from time to time I have to use canned ones.
They are fine, nothing wrong with them, except one thing.
BEAN-JUICE.
I can't stand that liquid that the beans are soaked with.
Its almost to the point that someone else have to open the can for me and rinse then.
Whoever have heard of a food stylist afraid of bean juice?
Oh well, once your beans are drained and ready you can make this amazing spread that also can be served as a dip.
Its so good.
Happy monday.

1 can cannelloni beans, drained and rinsed
1 garlic clove, finely chopped

You know those little jam jars that you get on airplanes and hotels?
They can be reused for a really cute craft project.
Simply make a few small holes with a thin nail in the lid, fill the jar with salt or pepper and voila,...you have the perfect salt and pepper shakers ever.
Great for your breakfast table and picnic.
If you take them on a picnic simply put a small piece of tape over the holes so that you don't get salt and pepper all over your basket.
