Ever since my nutrition class (that happened longer ago than I care to think about) told me how important sesame seeds were to the vegetarian diet because they are high in iron, I've liked them. Not that I didn't love sesame hamburger buns before. But I really had interest in them after that. Which is why this very recent recipe from the New York Times food blog got my attention.

Tonight, I had great plans to have baked beans to highlight the fresh and cheap veggies, corn on the cob and cabbage. What I wasn't planning on, but am learning to pay attention to was the high fiber content. In the beginning, I was only imagining what would go well together and would take advantage of the seasonal items. Then, I decided to do a fiber count. But first, let's see what it cost us.
