Share a Spoon of Beans!

I am cooking up some Mexican food
with Think Tank Momma today
at her Share a Spoon party!
I am bringing the beans!

 I am not sure I can write this without feeling 8 and giggling...
I love beans, always have.
My son just recently discovered them....
along with that he also discoverd that cute little rhyme..
"beans, beans, their good for your heart..."
I am pretty sure he did not hear it from me.
The little diddy is playing over and over in my mind!
Sorry, I know it is juvenile...
but I have had ZERO sleep,
pretty much anything will crack me up...
or crack me! 
Anyway, I love this recipe...
super-duper easy and tastes awesome!
Black Beans with Lime
{click HERE for pdf file}
 INGREDIENTS
2 Cans of black beans {or one large can} drained and rinsed
1 T olive oil 
2-3 Green onions, white part only, thinly sliced
2-3 cloves of garlic minced, chopped, however you like it {more is OK}
Juice of one small lime 
Salt and Pepper to taste
 
DIRECTIONS
In a saucepan, heat oil and saute the garlic and green onions.
Season with salt and pepper
Cook for about 3 minutes
Add beans and heat them up.
While doing so add the lime juice.
You may add water slowly and little by little if necessary as cooking {I usually add more lime juice, but that's me!}
Remove from heat and is you want garnish with the green part of the onion.
{My friend Molly introduced me to this recipe. It is adapted from Everyday Food, May 2007}

Who is coming to the party on Friday?????

  4. Having lived in Mexico for a short time, I am of the firm belief that anything is better with lots of lime. This looks delicious!

  16. My nephew taught me (when he was like 5) an extra verse...

    Clam chowder makes 'em louder!
    Purple jelly makes 'em smelly!

    I am right there with you. Little or no sleep and snickering all the way.
