Unique food needs.
My husband and I don’t share all the same food interests. In fact, our bodies respond differently to different foods. He thrives on a lot of red meat and cracked spelt. I can only eat a little of either — as my body has difficulty digesting them. On the other hand — I love beans, but he can’t digest them well. This is such a good reminder that God has designed each of us in a unique manner.
Beans for breakfast.
I am thankful to eat this bean soup all to myself. And I get to make it as spicy as I like. On the mornings my husband eats cracked cereal, I have a bowl (or two) of beans. Yes, I like beans for breakfast.
This recipe is so easy, nutritious, and filling. You can tone the spice level down (or up) according to your personal preference.
Organic is affordable.
I use organic canned beans (with BPA-free lining). This recipe works best with S&W organic black beans, which can be purchased at Costco for a great price. I recently paid $6.79 for eight 15 oz cans. You could also cook your own beans using about 2 cups cooked beans for the recipe. This would save money too — but not time.
With the growing availability of affordable organic food — there is no excuse to not make the full switch to 100% organic. Throw out all those processed, additive laden, pesticide filled products and fill up your pantry with wholesome, life-giving food. You’ll be glad you did.
You CAN afford to eat organic, but you CAN’T afford not to.
