Savory Black Beans and Rice

This is out of a book I have called "Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family" -- yes,  you can make healthy meals with bacon!

Ingredients:

2 cans (15 oz.) black beans, drained

¼ lb. (4 slices) bacon, cut into 1/2-inch strips

½ to 1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

¾ tsp dried leaf oregano

½ tsp dried rosemary, crushed

¼ tsp dried thyme

¼ tsp black pepper

1 tsp salt

Empty the beans into a medium saucepan. Cook the bacon in a skillet until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to move the bacon into the beans. Use the bacon fat (really! This is what makes it filling and flavorful!) to cook the onion and garlic over medium heat until the onion is clear. Measure the spices into the beans, stir them up, then simmer about ½ an hour to blend the flavors. Serve over hot cooked rice. Dress it up with a dollop of sour cream and serve with orange rounds on the side. Also delicious with a squeeze of fresh lime and chunks of avocado.

Best-ever Guacamole

3 avocados, peeled, pitted and mashed
1 teaspoon salt
juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 diced roma tomatoes or 1 regular tomato
pinch of cayenne pepper

Mix it all up and just try not to eat it all in one sitting. I'm telling you, it's good.

Berry Oatmeal Bars

Berry Oatmeal Bars

1/2 cup  all-purpose flour

1/2 cup  whole wheat flour 

1/2 cup Old Fashioned oatmeal

1/2 cup sugar 

1/2 cup butter or shortening, softened 

1 egg 

3/4 cup strawberry, raspberry or any type jam {not freezer jam!}

1/2 cup chopped walnuts 

Heat oven to 350°F. Line 8-inch square pan with foil. In large bowl, mix flours, sugar, butter and egg with electric mixer on low speed until crumbly.

Reserve 1/2 cup crumb mixture for topping. Press remaining crumb mixture firmly in bottom of pan. Spread fruit spread to within 1/2 inch of edges. {We like jam so I used 1 cup.} Sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup crumb mixture over top; sprinkle with walnuts.

This is why you line the pan with foil. I also sprayed it with a little cooking spray. No stick-age!

Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.
