I also saw this recipe in BonAppetit and thought it looked good and it really was. I wanted a smaller quantity so omitted the butter and pinto beans and halved the remaining ingredients. I also decreased the amount of curry powder and used diet sodas. The beans were so good that next time I will make the full recipe.

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
