One can of beans is about 1 3/4 cups. To use dried beans start with a generous 1/2 cup of dried beans. Soak in a bowl of 3 cups of water overnight. Drain . Add beans to a pot with 3 cups of fresh water. Cook 1-3 hours until tender. Most beans have a neutral taste that will soak up the flavors around it. If you dont have the exact kind of beans called for in a recipe they can usually be substituted with any other kind of beans you may have.

Tips:
Summer is the perfect time for recipes that dont heat up your kitchen like no bake cookies, or foods grilled outside. Chips (eaten with the cowboy caviar) can be a part of a short-term storage of regularly eaten items. Check the expiration dates on a brand you like to see how many months you can store them for.
