Greek Giant Beans on Brown Rice

Dinner




















This is very easy  and quick to make. It is a simplified version of the Greek traditional Gigante beans dish. To make I used 1 28 oz can of Organic Butter beans (you may use Giant Beans if you find them locally), 1 14 oz can of organic crushed tomatoes with garlic, 1 cup homemade vegetable stock, 1 tbsp total of the following: oregano, dill and thyme. Brown rice was made as per instructions on the package (I used vegetable broth instead of water). Then I just sprinkled everything with some fresh parsley.




Today's summary table:















*Based on table 17 Diet Plans for Vegan Children from The Vegetarian Resource Group (http://www.vrg.org/nutshell/kids.php) skewed for lower age range (ie. Between 1 and 3 years of age, used lower range for 16 month old).
