This is a healthier version than what you may be used to. These Sloppy Joes are made with red kidney beans, mushrooms, green peppers, fresh tomatoes, a little bit of fresh parsley.... served on a whole grain kaiser. And are a whole lot delicious!

I started cooking almost everything in a cast iron skillet a couple of years ago. Everything tastes so much better and is much healthier. Try cooking your next meal in a cast iron skillet, I promise it won't disappoint. The only foods that are not ideal to cook in your cast iron skillet are sticky foods such as eggs.... making an omelette is nearly impossible.

Why you should eat more beans - Beans help fight cancer! They can also help lower your cholesterol and lower your risk of hear disease. They are loaded with fiber, protein, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, such as copper, folate, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, potassium and zinc. Try to squeeze them into as many of your recipes as possible.

Chances are you're probably not eating enough beans. We should all be having at least 3 cups a week.

The benefits of cooking in a cast iron skillet - Helps you get your daily intake of iron and is free of harmful synthetics & materials that the non-sticks pans can have.
