Just what it says. Thats what I'm lookin for since I know we have lots of culinary experts around. It all started in hopes of improving my simple cooking skills and I started with a black beans and (brown) rice recipe I found here. Added some sausage and it turned out surprisingly good and very filling. A hearty, healthy meal for less than 5 bucks! Anyway, I have a newfound respect for the lowly beans and rice, especially as a survival food. Looking for simple recipes, tips, or suggestions. What other spices could I use besides cumin and cayanne pepper?
