Dinner could not get any easier and faster than fluffy buttery rice and beans. Everything cooks in one glorious pot. This means less clean up and more time to watch your favorite TV shows. This recipe also yields a lot of food so there are leftovers to last a couple of days. And the ingredients are simple but make each bite taste hearty, carb-happy, spicy, and comforting.
This recipe was born thanks to my fun, always-ready-for-adventure, and happy friend Natasha. Tom and I have a house in the Hamptons and we love to bring a crew of happy friends with us (Natasha is a regular). If you could hear our conversations and how we rock out to the 80s, you would totally laugh. During one trip, Natasha was in the back seat as we journeyed out of NYC to the Hamps! She started talking about her Mom’s rice and beans, and it sounded so amazing that I spent the rest of the car quizzing her on what was in it and googling recipes. Since then, Tom and I have had rice and beans every week! Now you can try the Natasha-approved rice and beans recipe! I am super excited for you to make this a regular weeknight recipe!

I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you create this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz reply as I'm looking to construct my own blog and would like to find out where u got this from. appreciate it
Thanks for helping out, good info. "If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything." by Bill Lyon.
Right now it appears like Expression Engine is the best blogging platform available right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?
Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm planning to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
I got what you mean ,saved to bookmarks, very nice internet site.
Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
Greate pieces. Keep posting such kind of information on your blog. Im really impressed by your site.
Good day! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
This is a useful website with plenty of good information. Nice write-up, keep it up.
Very good information. Thanks for sharing it with everyone. Thanks for sharing this useful information.
