Beans and Rice

I never thought I could get my kids to eat beans and rice (a fav of mine), but last night they did and I thought I’d share the recipe.

  • 2 cans organic black beans
  • 1 onion
  • Beef bouillon or beef broth
  • Braggs Nutritional Yeast Flakes
  • 3 Squash
  • 4 Zucchini
  • Whole grain rice

With this one, the kids cut the zucchini and squash, unpeeled, into strips.  We sauteed them and a chopped onion in olive oil and sprinkled a bit of Braggs yeast over it.  We overcooked them to a mushy mess, but they were so yummy!

I made rice to serve, only seasoning with one bouillon cube.  For the beans, I just heated them through, and sprinkled some Braggs yeast on it at the end and stirred well. This one was so easy, was super-healthy, and all the kids ate it.  Again, I served it with a slice of buttered homemade bread.  Yum!
