A pot of beans can be the ultimate comfort food, warming you up on a cold winter night, saving your wallet during lean times, or as a quick start to a meal on a busy night. We take a trip to the hipster health food store with a Chickpea and Sunflower sandwich, make a Cuban version of black beans, and cook a Tuscan stew with a crunchy bread topping. Each one is a way to stretch your wallet and fill your belly with delicious food.
