ONE POT RICE AND BEANS


If you are looking for something delicious, quick and easy, you are in the right place. This recipe is a family favorite. it is so versatile you can eat it in some many ways. You can eat it as is or you can add a salad, you can add it to a wrap and have a burrito. It is also a good meal if you are trying to eat less meat.

If you are ever presented an opportunity to save time or money. Always choose time because you can always make more money but you can never make more time.

I started cooking rice and beans this way when my older son was starting daycare. He has food allergies and I was looking for something to cook that will be save for him to eat while at daycare. I can cook, but I don't like cooking. Before you judge me hear me out, as a Nigerian American; cooking the average Nigerian food takes time. It can take you 2 hours to cook and only 10 minutes to eat and as the Accountant that I am it is wasn't adding up. Whatever I can do to save time in the kitchen, I am here for it.
