BEANS AND RICE OH MY!
March 2020 with its many shutdowns happening we decided to try a dinner menu that would sustain us and the family budget if things continue as they were in the country. The summer before, Mark, our son-in-law introduced to us the thought of eating beans and rice daily and how this is a staple in many countries, and how he had experienced this ‘menu’ on his mission. So the idea was planted and now was the time to experiment.
Weekly, we have different variations of beans and rice. We usually will eat this 5 days out of the week. Sometimes it is all mixed together with a tortilla on the side, or with baked potatoes. Other times it is served on top of lettuce from our garden with other garden toppings such as Walking Egyptian onions, green peppers, tomatoes, and spices. Another favorite way is just to pile it high on roasted veggies.
Let’s be real, getting three home-cooked meals on the table every single day is TOUGH! Let alone think about a different menu. This has been the greatest change we have made to our whole foods diet, and it is affordable! When the world was stocking up on convenient foods we were loading our cellar with an assortment of beans and rice.
