Full of Beans
This was todays lunch. I thought I would post a picture and where I got the recipe. The food is always a big hit at the school and today was no exception. We will make it again. The only thing you can't see is that I added corn to the mix after the fact. I made this at my home as I was home for part of the morning with a sick girl. Did you know that it is easier to digest beans if they are served with corn? I think the next time we make this we will turn it into a burrito with grated cheddar and sour cream and salsa! The recipe is super easy and very tasty I picked it up from Unplugged Sunday. The recipe called for pinto beans but I used kidney beans as they were more readily available. I soaked the beans over night and changed the water and boiled them for about 11/2 hours early this morning. Did I also mention that we served this with Milkshakes today? Yup, I lost my head today and we used up some birthday ice cream we had in the freezer. Your children really loved milkshakes and beans!

ReplyDeleteThis looks really good and EASY! I'm going to give it a try. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very good combination for sure, we actually had a similar plate but isn't dry, is made with the beans broth, the whole beans and rice, like a soup. It is delicious too!
