I soaked beans yesterday and put them on a slow boil today, then fried them. The concept of refried is a misnomer, although they are traditionally cooked twice, but by different methods. So quick burritos with enough left over for freezing a batch.

I get homesick for Tex-Mex food so I made bean rolls and Mexican rice with an avocado salad.
Quinoa with mixed veggies and chicken mixed in.
Last night was nachos. Tonight is Sausage and Potato Casserole. Good stick to your ribs kind of dinner.
I like to mix chicken with quinoa in soups... I'm finishing up a chicken soup with homemade broth right now! I think I'm going to do lentils along with the veggies this time. DH and I are trying to stay away from white carbs.Quote:

I think tonight will be leftovers. With all that I've cooked the last couple of days, there are plenty in the fridge.
Currently simmering heirloom Christmas lima bean with a vegetable stock. I'm not sure what Christmas has to do with the beans, but they are really large and sort of pinto colored. I plan to eat them with gorgonzola cheese crumbled on top, but should have enough left over for a soup or stew.
We had a few warm days this past week so DH smoke a whole chicken for use in various dishes. Tonight is pineapple chicken. Extra tasty with the smoky flavor.
Did a new recipe last night - Egg Roll in a bowl. It turned out well! I used a bag of premade coleslaw (no dressing), some ground turkey and scrambled egg. Everyone liked it! The only drawback was that there was not enough - LOL. Will use TWO bags next time!
