My new favorite snack...thought I'd share

Black Beans and Cottage Cheese!

Y U M M Y!

Let me start by saying that I eat a 1/2 cup of beans every day.  I've been buying the can, rinsing them and pop em like candy.

Well, I boiled my own for the first time yesterday to cut down on the sodium in them MAJORLY! Needless to say, they are a little blander then I'm used to...so I added a tad of salt.  Still wasnt doin it so I mixed in some NF cottage cheese.

Y U M M Y!

Did I mention it's delish???

Hmmm....that sounds pretty decent - except of course I would probably try it with ricotta instead of cottage cheese cause I don't like cottage cheese.

Thanks for the idea!

ummm our fave thing to do with black beans is to add some salsa (better if you make it yourself) and then some cheese... any kind... and we use it on everything... ma**** up some and then top on chicken... or just add chicken to the mix and it is a funky chicken salad... but Lorelei and Jeremy love it on home made baked tortia chips or toast... ohh... and that mix is also awesome on burgers!!!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Thanx!

OOHHH!!! I love cottage cheese...this would be great to sort of spice it up!! Great idea!! Thanx!!

Much luv!!
