How To Break In as a Mystery Shopper by Richard O. Mann Ever want to work as mystery shopper? Let a veteran of over 500 secret shops explain how you find shopping companies, sign up, and get assignments. Get paid to eat out, stay in hotels, and shop in almost every kind of store. It's fun! This no-nonsense, level-headed guide spells out the process for you. (This immediately downloadable e-book written by your friendly Bean Bible editor, Rich Mann, is part of the dynamite Dream Jobs To Go series.)
A Recipe by Richard Mann Ah; we see Texas is back, taking credit for this wonderfully spicy hot black bean soup. Perhaps our neighbors a little further to the south might be more appropriately credited with this. Whoever's responsible, it's a great crock pot soup that's easy to make. You can easily adjust the heat level using the instructions the recipe, all the way from relatively mild and inoffensive up to ultra-macho hot.
A Recipe by Richard Mann Here's an unusual soup featuring five types of canned beans (including adzuki beans, if you can find them), potatoes, and spaghetti sauce. If you're careful with the choice of spaghetti sauce, it's a vegetarian soup.
A Recipe by Richard Mann This delicious meatball minestroni is fast and easy to make (and thus, "mindless"), but tastes as if you'd spent all day slowly simmering these fabulous flavors together into this masterpiece of soups.
A Recipe by G. Schultz This ham and bean soup recipe involves a little work to gather up all the spices and prepare everything in sequence, but the payoff is worth the effort. It uses canned beans to speed up the process. And is it ever good! Editor's Note: This was by far the most popular recipe on our old site for over a year. This is GOOD soup.

The Bean Book Roy F. Guste, Jr., former proprietor of Antoine's Restaurant in New Orleans and noted cookbook author, has put together this wonderful collection of recipes for bean dishes from around the world. Everything you can imagine is in here; the variety of recipes is amazing. It includes "light" versions and a full nutritional analysis of each recipe. How does Bourbon and Black Bean Pie sound? Highly recommended by Bean Bible!
Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook: Feasting with your Slow Cooker We usually feature bean cookbooks here, but this superb slow cooker (crock pot) cookbook has at least a hundred great bean recipes in it! My wife brought it home and I'm sold on it. The "Bean Main Dishes" section alone has 53 recipes. Recipes are short, simple, tasty, and don't use weird ingredients that you don't already have. And, while I'm excited about the bean recipes (the Sausage Bean Quickie will be the first one we try), the rest of the recipes also look wonderful. The cover says it's a "National #1 bestselling cookbook!" I believe it. Highly recommended by Bean Bible!
Easy Beans: Fast and Delicious Bean, Pea, and Lentil Recipes, Second Editon Now in a new and improved second edition, this easy-to-use and highly popular cookbook makes cooking with beans as easy as it can possibly be.
