  1. Love this combo of rice, beans and spices. It was a little too sour for me, so next time I'll cut back on the lemon juice. Probably will only use one tablespoon. Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. Quick, simple, great flavor! I prepared this in less than 30 min on a busy weeknight. I added some diced onion & jalapeno pepper to the bean mixture. One small thing - the rice mix takes about 20 minutes to cook (I used Mahatma), but I found the bean mixture kind of dry by then - it cooked very quickly, in about 10 minutes, so next time, I won't start on the beans at the same time as the rice. I served with a bit of sour cream, guacamole & salsa and whole-wheat tortilla chips. Thanks!
     
  3. This is one of my favorite recipes! I make this a lot actually. I found it originally in a southern living cookbook. The taste is definitely hard to describe but it is a very filling and yummy meal.
     
  4. Good flavor but hard to describe. I followed the recipe exactly and served it with some grated monteryjack/colby and some onion slices. It is a keeper. I will make this agian!

<p>I live in the Kansas City area and have many hobbies including cooking, reading and spending time with my husband and two children who are very active in sports now. I also have an eBay business which is a fun hobby that makes a little extra money! My interest in cooking focuses on making healthy dishes that are more satisfying than the higher fat and higher sugar versions. If I had a month off with no responsibilities, I would spend it at a luxury spa. <br /> <br /></p>
