Sorry for the long break on my blog. Have you ever felt like you are going and going and every day you think the next day you will be caught up and it all starts over again and you hardly have a chance to sit down for 5 min. Of course you have, that is life right. Well, i have just been feeling life lately and forgot about the blog. I have discovered some great things in the past while that i would like to share...
1st, I don't know how many of you like black beans, but I do and I have tons of bags of dried beans that I always said I would get to making and never did because I always forgot to soak them the night before and I never flavored them well. Then a while ago I found a great seasoning in the mexican food area in Walmart. It is called Sazon Goya and it is great. You add 3-4 packets of this stuff to your beans while you are cooking them and wha la, you have some really great tasting beans. The great thing is that a box of the seasoning is only about a dollar and it has 10 packets in it. Budd makes up some great rice with garlic and onions like he had in Brazil and we are set for the week. We make all kinds of things with rice and beans. So if you have never made beans from dried beans or have done it many times, give this stuff a try. You will not be disappointed.
2nd I just read a great book called "Stargirl" It is a short book for young readers with an awesome message. I loved that it was a simple read and that i could get through the entire book in a few days. If you know me, I have a hard time finishing a long book. I have read parts of many books, so i try to find fun, simple books that i can make it through so i can feel accomplished. I loved this book. It was about a girl who is always herself and not trying to be like everyone else. Not trying to impress everyone and conform to their fads. It really made me think about myself and why I do the things I do. Am I comfortable with being myself, or do I try to change to impress others? I recommend it to anyone who wants a great read.
There is my list of recommendations. Hope you enjoy.

I LOVE rice and beans. Black beans are our favorite. I think I might be going to Walmart today to get that seasoning. Ü Thanks!
Juni: you are a silly girl and I love ya! I am also a fan of the black beans- had them everyday on the mission. Let's play sometime soon. School is out so any day/time is GREAT for me. It's been too long since we've played.
I love the idea of the seasoning, I have a stack of good intention beans too!! I will try it. Let me know when you come down this way! Your friend is an amazing photographer, does she give lessons? But of course it helps, to have beautiful children as the subjects.
Glad your back! Yes, I know the feeling of not sitting for 5 minutes during the day!
Good tips on the beans and book!
Hi Kate! Just found your blog. Those beans sound tasty!
