The frustrating thing about BPA (and part of the concern) is that it is so widespread - in the lining of most cans, in the lids of jars, in plastic polycarbonate containers, even in toilet paper! So I try to make sure that anything that goes into Nate's mouth is BPA free, in particular the food he eats. It was easier when the only solids he was eating were fruits and veggies. But now that he's onto proteins and finger foods, it's more of a challenge, as I've mentioned before

I'm with you on cooking beans - who has time?! I keep thinking I will but I've never gotten around to it. So in the meantime, we're not having any recipes with beans in them :)
Tiffany - haha, that is usually my answer when it comes to cooking! I was just on the Eden website and was excited to find that they have a whole assortment of BPA-free canned organic products that you can purchase online: http://www.edenfoods.com/store/index.php
Good news on the cooking beans front - there is a way to do it without the soaking or the long cooking. Really, beans in 90 minutes. It's 15 minutes on the stove (to bring to a boil) and 75 minutes in a 250 degree oven (check after 45 to see if they need more water). Yes, really. http://thepauperedchef.com/2009/06/90-minute-no-soak-beans.html
