I went grocery shopping the other day and when I go grocery shopping I find that I have been buying heathly things, mainly because I feel guitly if I buy junk food. I figure if I dont have any junk food in the apartment I cant veg out on the couch and munch all day. My wierdest purchase I bought was a bag of organic dried black beans. Here's the deal, I do not eat beans, as like in ever. I think I have had black beans once and pinto beans once, both times the beans were in a burrioto stuffed with random good stuff.
So after staring at this pack of organic beans for a while I decided I would cook some...I figure I can add some rice and other veggies and will have a dinner made up or something like that. I am really not to sure as to what I ever thought I would eat them with...it should be a interesting process.
I like visiting http://allrecipes.com/ to get some inspiration on what to do with certain ingredients. I like that people rate the recipes so you can get a feeling if they're good or not. Thought I would share as I've got many a good recipe from this site. Maybe you can find something for the black beans!
ReplyDeletehi Stephanie- I've been on Tysabri for two years now. I absolutely notice that the week before my infusion I am off a little bit. I wonder sometimes if infusions every 3 or 3.5 weeks would be better.
ReplyDeleteTysabri plus diet has really stabilized me. I hope that you do well on it.

I'm the same way---a week beforehand, I feel "off." Someone labeled it fourth week syndrome. Thankfully, I get my infusion tomorrow. It's not in our heads. It really does exist.
ReplyDeleteAlso---I hate beans. But I have a recipe for this AWESOME black bean dip. And you don't have to cook the beans. (Although this won't help with your organic beans you purchased!) It's the only time I eat beans.
2 cans of Black Beans
1 can of rotel tomatoes
Fresh jalapeno peppers (diced up---no seeds)
Green onion (chopped
Red onion (minced)
Fresh Cilantro
Fresh Lemon Juice
Fresh Lime Juice
Cumin
Garlic Powder
Salt to taste
Pepper
Cayenne Pepper
*note* for every 2 cans of beans, you want to add one can of rotel tomatoes
I always rinse the black beans in a strainer and dump the can of rotel tomatoes on top...then put it in a mixing bowl....add the ingredients. You'll have to spice it to taste.
Eat it with tortilla chips---also tastes great on a burrito.
