Then I only need to repeat every couple of months :) Danielle @ Poor and Gluten Freehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836360004405159423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629633390950913129.post-36776266749551941782013-01-04T09:55:58.093-08:002013-01-04T09:55:58.093-08:00Cooking the beans in the pressure cooker sounds li...Cooking the beans in the pressure cooker sounds like the way to go--thanks for sharing!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136276061114462192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629633390950913129.post-53607328001740296792013-01-03T12:28:24.687-08:002013-01-03T12:28:24.687-08:00It's a bit of work, but like you said, if you ...It's a bit of work, but like you said, if you make up a large quantity to freeze, it's worth it!
