    On Saturday I made black eyed peas that I soaked over night. I added boxed vegetable broth (but it is not necessary), ¾ of a sautéed onion, and ⅓ of head of garlic. I peeled and cut the garlic and dumped it into beans without sautéing because I wanted to keep things as easy a possible.

    Chicken with bell pepper, lime juice, cilantro, and onion for tacos. Chicken and buffalo sauce for sandwiches, pinto beans cooked down, drained, and smashed for bean burritos.

    I wonder if it would taste good without the chicken, I'm trying to find some recipes without meat in order to save money. I'm excited to try this because I've always wanted to play around with Quinoa.
