Good Friday morning, folks. Boy am I glad the weekend is almost here. It’s been a BUSY week. I started a blogging schedule to make things a little smoother in my life.

Ever wish you could have excellent black beans at home? Well, you can! They are very easy to make and preparation doesn’t take long at all. You may even have all of the ingredients on hand. I threw these beans together and served them over rice as a side dish to the turkey burgers we [...]
