Rice and Beans

Dinner last night may seem boring to a lot of people, but this is actually one of my favorite meals! I love black beans and rice!  

Black Beans - I drained and rinsed about half a can of beans and added them to the rice to heat up. (You can substitute any other kind of bean)

Brown Rice - The rice I had made a few weeks ago and frozen them in portion sizes... so that made this a quick and easy dinner last night!  Here is the recipe I used:

4 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped carrot
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 Tbsp cilantro
1 tsp minced garlic
1 cup brown rice

Mix the broth, vegetables, cilantro and garlic in a large pot. Add 1 cup of water and bring it to a boil. Add the rice and bring back to a boil. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Remove the lid and simmer for 5 minutes more.
