Thanks to Evita at Evolving Wellness for asking this question: How about beans? I cannot imagine getting them out of my diet. Do you ever eat them and if so how? I cant imagine raw? A legume is a plant in the family Leguminosae , or a fruit from these plants. But to most folks, legumes are more commonly known as beans. Take a look at a list of common legumes.

Are you ready for some football? I dont know how ready I am to actually follow the game, but I am ready for some football-watching food. I LOVE Super Bowl day. Its a day to chuck any and all New Years dieting-type ideas out the window and eat whatever you want. it would be un-American not to. I made this dip a few weeks ago for a party, and the adults pretty much fought the kids to get their fill---which is saying a lot, because the oldest kid was 9, and I *know* for a fact there was plenty of double-dipping going on. Theres both Velveeta and cream cheese in this dip, so if your cholesterol is offended by these ingredients, you shouldnt make it. Instead, pick something light and healthy from the archives.

Use a 4 quart or larger slow cooker. Dump everything in. It...
