You thought I had given up on this blog. So did I! But we've gotten past the first nine months of the baby's life and I'm getting enough sleep!
A couple days ago I made some black bean soup that was so good! This isn't a detailed recipe, just a list of the ingredients:
black beans, cooked from dry by Jer
lots of frozen corn
dried minced onion (had no fresh)
green pepper
fresh tomato
some water
chicken bouillon
frozen cilantro (Mmm. When I buy a bunch of cilantro, I chop it up and put it in a gallon freezer bag with some water. I let it freeze flat so I can break chunks off as needed.)
garlic powder (contemplated the garlic clove... too lazy)
whole cumin seeds, crushed a bit with back of spoon
It simmered a while. Then we each seasoned it to our liking with salsa and hot sauce at the table. Jer added shredded cheese. The baby even liked it (although I took some out for him before adding the chicken bouillon so he wouldn't get the salt and MSG).
I was too tired to make cornbread to go with it, but luckily we had tortilla chips, and together it was delicious! Leftovers the next day were just as good.
welcome back! Thanks for the idea too!
