Dilled Rice and Beans

If you have leftover rice, dilled rice and beans is the quickest, one-step meal in the world.

It’s also very comforting and nourishing, and great to stretch your grocery budget dollars a little bit farther.

I like to serve it with some veggies on the side, either a salad or just some peas and corn for the kids.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup white or red kidney beans
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 Tbsp dill
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients. That’s it! 🙂

Eat at room temperature or warmed up. It’s also great as leftovers.


Inspiration

Today I’m thinking about the words that I use to describe my life purpose. I’ve always thought that I want to reduce suffering in the world.

But with that purpose, I’m always focused on suffering! What if instead, I change it to I want to create more joy in the world?

Then I’m focusing on joy every day instead of suffering! I’m going to try this out and see what happens. I hope you find your positive life mission as well.
