Beans & Rice, Rice & Beans
Tyler and I have been doing the Dave Ramsey Plan for the past 3 1/2 years. One of his says is, "Beans & rice, rice & beans." That basically means live within your means, and to live like no one else (debt free & frugally) so you can later live like no one else (debt free and money in the bank). We have introduced this method to many of our family members, One of my cousins made fun of us, within a week he was on board and now is a Dave Ramsey-aholic, and has even called in on his radio show. Tyler has even given a lesson for a our church, Relief Society Enrichment. So needless to say we are HUGE fans, and will talk to anyone about it who will listen.
Tyler lived in Brazil for 2 years for our church. He lived in the poor parts in Brazil and ate black beans and rice a couple of times a day. So he loves beans and rice, and is really picky about them, they CANNOT be from a can, they have to be homemade. Over the years, I have come up with a really good recipe for black beans. It is really really cheap and doesn't take that much effort. But most importantly Lizette LOVES it. She isn't a huge fan of refried beans but those black beans she can not get enough of them. She eats a huge bowl and asks for more. So now we are taking Dave Ramsey serious and only eat Beans & Rice, Rice & Beans......just kidding.....60/40.

I love Dave Ramsey too! I think it was through you via Doris that we were introduced. I could go on and on, but I won't. :) That's cool Lizette likes the beans...I would love your recipe if you're willing to share. Can you email it to me? amandacarter3@gmail.com Lizette is so cute! I love the Ranch drinking pictures too :)
I love the 60/40. I always think that now and then think of you. I want the bean recipe too.
So where is the recipe? No, seriously. I dont know how to make beans other than from a can straight to the microwave. lol
I will have to look into the Dave Ramsey thing.
That's funny. Bryan also served in Brazil, but he wouldn't eat beans for years after. Only now has he agreed that he will, for money saving purposes.
I agree with everyone else, that bean recipe would be much appreciated. I think you should post it on your blog, then we could all see it!
I have absolutely NO idea how to make beans. So I vote for a bean recipe, if you are willing to share. Oh, and we made it to step 2 of our "money makeover"!
I've never heard of the Dave Ramsey Plan before! Wow- you've got me interested. Oh, and please post your recipe for black beans! I have TONS of dry beans and I'm now looking for a good recipe to cook with them!
