Creamy Sage and Rosemary White Beans

March 19, 2018 By Tekesha 3 Comments

sage and rosemary white beans

As much as I love quick recipes, I also really enjoy what I call “a long cook”– wandering in and out of the kitchen all day to add bits and bobs to something simmering on the stove. These beans are super flavorful and comforting and, while the recipe takes some time to come together, if you have the time, you won’t be disappointed.

    Are the numbers for the sodium content correct? It seems extremely high for anyone, but especially for those with elevated blood pressure.
