  2. I saved this recipe a day or so after you posted, but finally made it!! After starting WW (loosely) I realized I do like beans, but only 'clean' ones (not the ones w the mush goo all over em).

    Anyways, I made this for a baby shower and got good reviews! I did a couple things different, but loved it still. Thank you so much.
