The Best Homemade Baked Beans Breakfast

August 24, 2025 by Christian Gott Leave a Comment

The best homemade baked beans breakfast. We live in an age of convenience. If you want some baked beans for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you open a tin. Tinned baked beans have a long history. H. J. Heinz started making them in 1886. They are a good source of protein and fibre. But on the downside, they can contain shocking amounts of sugar and salt. The good news is that with a little time and forethought, you can make the most amazing homemade baked beans.

My Pan Bagnat is so Nice

August 16, 2025 by Christian Gott Leave a Comment

History has it a version of Pan Bagnat was made in as early as the sixteenth century for hungry fishermen by their wives.
