Hey Karen what is the recipe you have for the beans and rice....I have about 4lbs of beans here and need to use them..I know they are dried and will last forever I found that I can eat boston baked beans too..so if you have a good recipe for that too... Jannine 357/182/169ish

Jannine I made a pot of rice and pigeon peas (arroz con gandules in Spanish). It seems to come together well surprisingly because its far from what the original dish is (white rice, vegetable oil, seasonings, beans). I cook instant brown rice (1 cup of it according to package directions). when the water is boiling, I add a small amount of minced onion and something called sofrito (its a pureed vegetable mixture, Goya makes it, sold in the frozen section). When the water boils I add teh rice, cook 5 min, shut the rice off for 5 min then stir. Then I add a packet of sazon and adobo (Goya spices), maybe a T of tomato paste and add 2 drained cans of "pigeon peas" they look like peas but they're acutally beans. You could use any bean for the rice! I've never eaten baked beans because I didn't like the smell of them now I dont think I'd try them because my aunt makes them and its loaded with brown sugar and I'd dump. heres a recipe for Emeril's Canadian campfire beans that got nothing but good reviews, hope it gives you some ideas! Canadian Cowboy Baked Beans: 3/4 pound dried white beans, picked over to remove any broken beans and stones 1/2 pound bacon, diced 1 cup chopped yellow onions 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon Essence 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1 (14.5-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, with their juices 1 (12-ounce) bottle lager or ale 1/2 cup maple syrup 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar 1/2 cup chicken stock 1/2 cup Canadian whiskey 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 2 bay leaves In a large pot, place the beans and cover with water by 3 inches. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the beans are just tender, about 1 hour and 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain and set aside. In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until brown and the fat is rendered, about 6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. To the fat in the pan, add the onions, chili powder, Essence, salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and their juices, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the beer, syrup, sugar, stock, whiskey, mustard, Worcestershire and bay leaves. Stir well and cook for 1 minute. Add the beans and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer covered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid and continue to simmer until tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, and adding more water as needed to keep the beans covered. Remove from the heat, stir in reserved bacon, and adjust seasoning, to taste. Yield: 6 to 8 servings

I have the munchies!!! Grrrrr! I'm hanging in though. B: grape nuts S: protein coffee L: 5oz chicken breast, green beans S: pear w/ 1oz gorgonzola.... later 2 rice cakes w/cream cheese D: Shrimp/Mango/Cucumber salad 1 cup hopefully that will be it for the night! water: 100oz vits done exer not today

Rebeka I've seen gorgonzola in the store but never bought it. Is it almost the same as bleu cheese (taste, consistency, etc)?

Hi Karen, It tastes almost the same, but creamier, softer and a little less bite to it. I really like it, esp. w/pears! You should try it! If you like blue i think you'll like it too.
