This was a good, solid recipe. I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth and served with grilled herb chicken thighs and grilled zuchinni and squash. It was a wonderful quick and easy dinner. Great for everyday meals.
Mother's White Beans
James Carrier
I grew up in Kansas. Mother would make navy beans to go with coleslaw, cornbread, and mashed potatoes—we ate them all on a plate. When I go home, she still makes them for me, says cowboy-poet and wildlife photographer Mike Logan of Helena, Montana.
