Melissa's Season 4 Top Tips

BELLISIMO BARGAIN
Melissa’s sautéed cannellini beans are inspired from a dish at one of her favorite Italian restaurants back in high school and college. She and her mom would dine there for special occasions, and they served a sautéed cannellini bean appetizer that Melissa loved.
Beans are a great go-to ingredient for entertaining. They're full of fiber and protein, they’re tasty, inexpensive and they fill guests up. You can buy beans canned but dried, which are 80 percent less expensive. Melissa saves time by cooking up a large batch of beans, portioning them out for her recipe needs and freezing them. One cup of cooked beans costs only about 22 cents!
