I made another recipe tonight!  The colors reminded me of Christmas so that's where I got the name, but they also taste like a great Christmas side dish!  So here they are!

Sweet N Tangy Christmas Beans

2- 15 oz cans navy beans

2 cans fire roasted diced tomatoes

2 tbsp olive oil

1 red bell pepper diced

1 bunch green onions sliced

1/4 c. molasses

1/4 c. fructose

2 tbsp mustard

2 tsp chili powder

Heat Oil in skillet, saute peppers and green onions till tender crisp.  Add navy beans and tomatoes, cook till heated through, add remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste.  Simmer 20-30 minutes.

Sweetness can be adjusted to your taste, I like my tomatoey stuff sweeter but some don't care for the sweet.  You could also use honey in place of the molasses and fructose!

As you can tell from the last few recipes I'm trying to eat more and more all veggie dishes.  I feel so much better when I eat the "Almost" vegan way.  I still eat some meat, but have cut way back on it and I'm more picky what kinds of meats I eat!  Sweet desserts are a tough one, especially when my family is still eating Reese's pie and Blue Moon ice cream cones!  But I'm also incorporating a lot more fruits in my diet and less of those worthless carb loaded sweet treats.  If anybody has recipe's they'd like to share, feel free!
