Beans, beans, the magical fruit


Big Saturday night here in our house. With the lack of sleep I wanted to do something easy but still homemade for dinner. So, I made these bad boys...

Sauteed vegetable, quinoa and black bean tacos



I was surprised at how delicious they turned out, really I was. Even more surprising was that my little monster LOVED it too. Couldn't shovel it into his face fast enough. 

Here is the recipe.
