Day 61 ~ Refried Beans

By now you must know I love to cook. This time I attempted to make homemade refried beans.

I love Mexican food. I mean I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD!! My goal is to find some recipes I love that are healthy and tasty. My first attempt at that was making homemade pinto beans. It started by soaking my beans over night. I had no idea they would take so long to cook the next day. I printed out 3 different recipes, and picked out the things I like about each and went to work. 2 1/2 hours later they were done. Thank God I soaked them over night because once they were done, I was done, and wanted nothing more to do with refried beans. I was literally angry at those beans until I heard my girl's reaction to them. They loved them! To find something every one of my kids love, and want more of, was awesome. Not to mention the fact, they were very healthy. Thankfully they made a large containers worth, and I will have some for the week.

Next time I think I will cook them in a crock pot.
