Soup is good. But they have a carb called inulin which can make most people pretty gassy - so definitely in moderation!Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354350096358468967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544358755192295336.post-27928035811026566172014-11-10T12:54:53.736-08:002014-11-10T12:54:53.736-08:00I've always been afraid to plant Jerusalem art...I've always been afraid to plant Jerusalem artichokes. One year I planted them in a huge pot, but they really need more space than that.

I've got to make some Cassoulet soon and see how they are. Cannellinis are not one of my favorite beans, their texture is too waxy, I prefer a creamier bean. I love Greek Gigante beans, they're a huge white runner bean.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544358755192295336.post-29707434336321367052014-11-10T08:42:48.870-08:002014-11-10T08:42:48.870-08:00Looks absolutely delicious!
