Just a quick note because it's Monday. It was a great weekend! Patio sitting with friends on a Friday evening with some great Sangria wine. A BEAUTIFUL wedding on Saturday evening. They are sooo cute and one of my favorite couples! So happy for them! I caught the bouquet. Don't hold your breath. This has happened before, and it's still just me and Newt. Sunday was full of rest and recuperation and inventing. I threw together a quick supper. Invited another great couple over and we dined on Sam's Crazy Chicken "Enchilada" Adventure (I don't know if this will see a round two), Sam's Delish Black Beans, and Sam's Shrimp Pico on tosdadas. The later two, as demonstrated by their names, are also Sam Inventions. They also have been lucky enough to make the recipes to repeat list. For now, I'll leave you with the "How To" on the Black Beans.
For now, let's call them Sam's Delish Black Beans.
What you will need:
1 can chicken broth (use the low sodium/sodium free, just do it)
1 Tbsp or so of chopped onion (more or less if it blows your skirt up)
1 can black beans
1 can Rotel (tomatoes and green chilies, I'm not necessarily a name brand kind of gal)
Salt
Pepper
Put onion in a medium sauce pan with just a little chicken broth and cook them til tender. Drain and rinse the beans (that "juice" that comes in the can with them, no thanks, rinse it off!!). Add the beans to the onion. Drain and add the Rotel. Pour in some chicken broth. Enough to come just to the top of the beans. Toss in a little salt and a shake or two of pepper. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer. Cook until it has thickened some. It's yummy this way, or if you're living on the edge, serve topped with shredded cheddar and/or jack cheese.
Have a blessed Monday! Cheers to a great week. I have a weekend get-away planned and know that it will be nothing short of greatness (I hope).
