Oh sure, we all go through phases, but cravings are a whole 'nother matter. Beans and pasta are on my mind, nailing down the recipe is the harder part, even with Mel's Kitchen Cafe, The Pioneer Woman, and allrecipes.com at my beckon call. It's difficult. Wanting solely to experience the health benefits of beans, desiring that texture with no solution to the matter, only suggested serving combos like for example, with quinoa. Can a person realistically tire of all things Mexican? I can't.
You all know me by now, two cans of black beans will always get my attention and be my saving grace, and throwing in a cup of corn is ideal in my neck of the woods, and elsewhere. Even on my very own plate, a teaspoon of cumin with 1/4 tsp cayenne, first sautéing 3 cloves of garlic and an entire onion...boiling 3/4 cup quinoa with 1-1/2 cup broth, then simmering covered for 20 minutes, insanely choosey! And recommended.
Sometimes as I sit here in my life orchestrated by guardian angels, I wonder if seeking the next bean recipe that will satisfy my soul is jeopardizing enough. Within minutes I know for sure, a half cup of cilantro mixed in with the black beans at the end is serious business when dealing with a healthified bean-focused option. Especially when reliable Monday rolls around, pretending to be the oldest sibling in a family of six that never existed. You knew that was true but never admitted it.
