I am her right hand person and I love it. One of the benefits to working along side my mom is that I get to spend a lot of time with her and her friends and neighbors that stop by through out the day! A few years back she had a neighbor named Kjersten that I absolutely love. She would come over and hang out with us while her kids were at …

Cuban Black Beans

My oldest son, who is now 6, has always loved black beans ever since he was a baby! He will not eat pinto or pork in beans. He just loves black beans. Whenever I make them he always asks for a big plate of them and nothing else. Then he goes back for seconds! These beans were no exception. They are very very easy and have a lot of flavor. You can spice these up by adding more cayenne pepper or if you need them family friendly try just a pinch of cayenne pepper to give them flavor! Cuban Black …

After I did my meal planning for the week I went to the grocery store. It was then when I realized that I had 3 recipes with coconut in them on the list. I must have been on some coconut kick when I sat down to meal plan. But since both the husband and I are coconut fans I don’t think he minded it either! We don’t have rice very much in our house. We are more of a pasta family. So I rarely venture out and try new rice recipes. I made this and served it up the cuban …
