Beans and Rice

This is an easy breakfast for when you might be in a hurry.  You have it cooking in the crockpot and just ladle it up or warm it in a pot.  About an hour before eating I added one can of green chilis (in my perfect world these will be fresh from my garden) and salt was already added before cooking.  I cooked up some rice.  It wasn't "good " rice as I only had white rice.  Diced up some tomatoes.  Add some cheese and you have a meal to rave about!! The next time I made it with some dark brownish rice and black beans it was even better.

Even my bean hater wanted some "bean juice" so it wasn't a loss for her either.  Everyone else loved it.

Nummy! Can't wait until lunch. The house smells so nummy of garlic from the beans cooking all night.

I couldn't get my children to eat it for breakfast, but it's a yummy-sounding lunch choice!

This is the kind of food I grew up on but always lunch or dinner. My mom did make a breakfast rice sometimes - not that nutritious, though! Love your breakfast ideas - keep them coming!

Thinking Out of the Box

{ 03:53, Thursday, October 18, 2007 } { Posted by Jen (cloth_doll) }

I know much of what I'm learning in NT is going to be thinking out of the box for me, but I don't know if I'll ever be able to think this far out of the box! I don't think my tummy could handle this in the a.m.! BUT looks like a wonderful lunch or dinner! I may do this for dinner tomorrow night or over the weekend!

Thanks for continuing with all these NT lessons! Love it!

Wow, someone else who just likes the bean juice and not the beans. And my parents thought I was weird. Since I'm not a bean person I won't be joining in this recipe, but look forward to some of the others. Thanks for doing this . . . and the pictures are a great help.
