Shrimp 'n' Black Bean Chili
"This is a fast and easy meal and not to mention delicious. If you feel you need more heat in this chili, you could add more cumin or chilies/jalapeno or even a can of rotel with chilies for the diced tomatoes. Cook time is an estimate for prep and cooking."

A great recipe. I used a red bell pepper and a yellow bell pepper instead of the green pepper. I doubled the cumin and added 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper and 3 minced garlic cloves. I also added 1 cup of corn. It came together quickly and served it over brown rice. Yummy! -
This is REALLY yummy! My husband has high cholesterol so we don't typically eat a lot of shrimp (even thought I love it) but we (well he splurged) and we made this and it was fabulous!! Thanks!

I am a stay-at-home mom of a 1 year old boy and a 4 year old girl. I love to cook, collect cookbooks, read, cross stitch and play with my children.
My husband is an Elementary Principal. It's hard keeping up with his schedule because of all the meetings and events he needs to attend. So, I'm always trying to keep meal planning simple and quick, because many time's he gives me short notice that he'll only be home for 30 min. then off to a meeting or supervising an event.
Growing up my mother worked until 5pm and would come home and make a home cooked meal. We very rarely ate out. For me to be to stay at home I wonder how she was able to do it all.
My favorite meals that she made were comfort food: goulash, minute steaks with mashed potatoes and gravy, pork chops with gravy and potatoes, beef stew over rice, chicken noodle soup, vegetable beef soup among many others. Everything she makes is from scratch. I won't forget once when I told her I made instant potatoes, I thought she was going to have a heart attack (I still use instant every now and then, just don't let her know).
We also spent a lot of time with our grandmother's who knew how to cook.
