Poor Man's Bean Tomato Dish

I was surprised how good this was because of its simplicity. This will definitely become one of my staples.


Cumin Bean Tomato Dish

Ingredients:

1 can Red kidney beans*, rinced
1 onion, chopped
1/4-1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Cumin
1 can Hunt's tomato sauce

Saute the onions in water or oil until translucent. Stir in the can of tomato sauce, cumin, beans, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Let simmer for about 15 minutes, and then stir in the minced garlic. Let sit for five minutes. Serve over brown rice, and enjoy!

*any beans can be used, but I like red kidney beans with this.



Finnegan is 10 weeks old as of yesterday! He's huge!



He kept me up most of the night last night... I woke up with a headache and had to take a nap for two and a half hours to get it to go away... I was miserable, but I feel so much better now.

All of my Christmas shopping is done and I feel so relived. Last year was crazy. I spent the last few days right before Christmas rushing around trying to find presents for everyone. Never again. This year, I did all my shopping online. While I think I do prefer to shop in a store, it is nice to be able to compare prices online... The present I bought for my brother was $70 at a store, but I got it for $50! Yeah, I was really excited (and yes, I know I'm a nerd, but hey, who doesn't like to save money?).
