Week One - Down

Well, we made it through the first week.  I have to say, knowing that you're all doing this too, has really kept me motivated.  As you came to weigh in last night, I heard it over and over again that you feel the same way.  I'm so glad we're in this together.

Today I thought I'd share a simple, very yummy dinner we like at the Hamilton home.  We call it Kathy Shmack after my sister Kathy. 

Kathy Shmack

1 cup brown rice

2 cups water

1 cup chunky salsa

2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed

3 Tbs taco seasoning or 1 pkg taco seasoning

Put all ingredients in a pot.  Simmer for 40-50 min until rice is cooked and all the liquid is gone.  We like the uncooked tortillas, they cook up quick, they're not full of preservatives and they're delicious.  Top with chopped lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, salsa and lime.  Enjoy!
