I bought a 2lb bag of pinto beans (next time I'm getting organic from the bulk bins at the health food store). I sorted and rinsed them like 100x, soaked them overnight, then rinsed again. I put them in the crock pot, covered them in a couple inches of water, then stirred in....
2 tbsp minced onion
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp ground red pepper
1 tsp cumin
a splash of extra virgin olive oil
My measurements are approx and we like our beans with flavor, so you might want less seasonings.
UPDATE: I have started making these with 1 part black beans to 2 parts pinto beans and we love them even more!
I put the lid on and cooked all day. After dinner I used my potato smasher and mashed them in batches, adding salt to taste.
They're super delicious!! Aaaand, it made a huge bowl for only $2! We enjoyed some right away and I still put 6 sandwich baggies full into the deep freeze!
Yummier, healthier and cheaper than the canned version!!
I put in an order on Thurs for some new marshmallow treat bars for Katie. Before I ordered, I was sure to check retailmenot.com to see if there were any codes for a discount and sure enough, I was able to get 15% off my order. Glenny's already had free shipping for orders over $30, so I did pretty well! They shipped quickly and arrived today!
The package I sent to Jaime finally arrived late last week. Since Molly is so small, she has been unable to find a birthday girl outfit for her, so my mom and I made this cute little (oragnic, of course) onesie. I used my cricut to cut out the designs and my mom sewed them on. I can't wait to see pics of her wearing it.
Awesome.

Yummy! Those sound really good. Still waiting on Elena's RAST to see if I can have beans again, but I sure hope so.
I am in awe of your shopping ability. Your posts are amazing.
And of course, Kelton is as cute as ever!
Go you on the beans! Ian loves beans too! It's crazy, I don't much appreciate cleaning them up the next day out of his diaper though. Haha.
And yes I need your shopping abilities. I get excited when I save 50 cents. :)
Kelton looked cute in his video. I will have to show they kids when they wake up from nap time.
I have an idea of some shirts we need to make all of the K-kids for this summer or Christmas with your cricuit cutter...sometime when we will all be together. The onesie you made with your mom was super cute.
