Black Beans

Cara Cooks Wednesday is already here?

My, my this week is going by too quickly. Yesterday I fulfilled my civic duty and went to the central court for jury duty. Although I wasn't called in I did enjoy watching the Price is Right (which I haven't watched in years but loved as a child) and over hearing some elderly women bicker about what exactly was wrong with the world today... I won't get to experience that again for at least a whole year :)

I'm not going to lie, I actually like jury duty. Hordes of citizens with completely different backgrounds gathering for a common purpose. It makes for fantastic people watching.

Back to dinner.

If there is one food/dish I could eat multiple times in a week and not be completely bored or get sick of it- it's beans and rice. 1st I like the beans to be spicy- I just like spicy food- 2nd I like my beans in more of a CA Mex style with tons of cilantro and tomato.

Lucky for me, this is how Cara likes her beans too :)


Thanks for another yummy Cara Cooks Wednesday

How do you like your beans??

Black Beans and Rice

Last night was feeling sick and I was in dire need of a homemade meal.
I threw some dried black beans into a pot and just let them boil away for a couple of hours before cooking up some rice and throwing raw ingredients on top.
I'm not sure why, but I was craving raw red onion. It topped the dish off well.

Today I feel much better and am convinced the homemade meal did it's job :)
