mmmm Looking forward to reading ow the beans and rice turn out.. (= … We LIVE on beans and rice.. lol. Must admit, that is one sure fired meal I KNOW my gremlins will ask for thirds.. bwahahahahahaha
We’re from TX and love us some Mexican rice and beans! I serve the beans with dinner, then they are refried for bean and bacon breakfast tacos. There’s nothing wrong with her recipie for the rice, I just highly recommend you add those spices others had commented on (I personally use cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder.)
As for the meat deals…I grabbed a couple of mark down packages at food lion. The pork and roasts were good deals, thought their chicken was still overpriced even on clearance. But I was more distracted by their shelf of clearance tortillas. .50 per package!!! Unheard of in this area…so I stocked up. The cashier had a good laugh and said we must love tortillas. Oh, you have no idea… 🙂
Thanks for the tip on extra spices. I am sooo jealous of your $0.50 tortillas! I might not have had the willpower to leave any for other shoppers 🙂
