hey all. i havent posted a recipe review in quite awhile, but i am eating a mighty tasty bowl of black beans right now & thought i would share. this recipe was posted on the bb by catharine.
it has a kick to it, which i like. all the ingredients are easy to have on hand, and it takes 20 minutes to make. my christopher ranch garlic was huge this week, so my 2 cloves equaled about 4 regular cloves. i used the fresh cut diced tomatoes with garlic & onion. i went to the bakery today so i ate this with a crusty french bread to soak up any of the juices. this will become one of my weeknight standbys.
oh and look how healthy it is.
