Hi Ed, thanks for asking, I left that part out on this post.

I normally cook them in a pressure cooker for 50 minutes, with four cloves of garlic, 1 tsp salt, and about 3 tablespoons of canola oil.

I keep the seasonings simple, because I tend to use the beans for different soups, refried beans and burrito filling.

If you don’t have a pressure cooker, go to this recipe link for the other stove top method.

I hear ya, Deby! I love cooking, but I don’t do it everyday. That’s exhausting and I have way too much going on.

What’s that they say? “Work smarter, not harder.”

I’m always happy to take the time to double a recipe or cook ingredients ahead of time, just so I can have a few nights of fast heat’n-eat meals.

Looks good! We love leftovers because it often means less time slaving in the kitchen. When I make lasagna, I usually make a lot more ground turkey or beef (whatever I use at the time) and use it for burritos/ tacos. Don’t get me wrong, I love cooking but due to a busy schedule when I am not preparing dinner after work, my husband and I can go to the gym.

You got that right, Sister Jan!

I’ve never made Gumbo. I absolutely love it, but I have never made it.

Care to share your recipe for gumbo?

Hey Jill I had a few more items on hand so between yours & mine I made Gumbo. I did make the cornbread cause I just love cornbread. From great minds comes great ideas.
