Please check out the awesome blog Cheap, Healthy, Good! I am a regular reader of this blog, and I was so excited to try my first recipe from their site this week.
Now, I have to admit, I didn't really think that this was going to be that filling. I was afraid that it was going to pretty much feel as though I was trying to fill up on a side dish. Not so, my friends! The beans in this meal are very filling. The flavor is also fantastic. And as you can tell from the recipe, it was crazy simple to make. Give it a try! It is easy on the wallet, the waistline, and the environment.
