Canned beans like black beans are not cheap when organic
Cheap and filling eh?Legumes and pulses is your answer.Beans (tons of different types), peas, lentils, etc. etc. are low in glycemic index and fill you up with soluble and non-soluble fiber. Good protein source that can be found in organic form at great prices.The above combined with whole type rice (brown, red, black) can be extremely flavorful and filling.There are tons of recipes online if you're the DIY type... Good luck.

Good luck.Absolutely,Of course, tofu is processed soy beans which makes it much quicker to prepare. My vegetarian wife claims that she ate nothing but beans (sacks of dried beans are dirt cheap) when she was a poor graduate student in California.

Whole Foods sell beans for $1.20 a can. I that not cheap?As for the rice cookers even the ten bucks is a waste of money. If you have a pan you have a rice cooker. Why would you ever spend money on one? If you want to steam it(which adds nothing) just put the rice in a metal strainer on top of a boiling pot of water then put the lid on the strainer.
