  • Financial teacher and a great influence on my life, Dave Ramsey often talks about eating beans and rice, rice and beans as a way of eating for very little money. So i thought I'd actually do it and see how it tastes. The answer is it tastes great especially if you add some simple ingredients. Try it, save your money, and let me know what you think
    Cook well,

    If you use a lot of rice try this. Next time you are in the supermarket ask the deli or bakery department for one of their food grade plastic buckets. This is a bucket with a tight fitting lid that they get coleslaw, potato salad, cake mix and icing in. Then buy a 20 pound or 8 kilo bag of rice for around $12 bucks. Keep the rice in the bucket, take some out as you need it and keep it in the cupboard in a juice pitcher for easy pouring or just a mason jar. This is the most economical way to buy and store rice. One big bag will feed one person 2 meals a day for a year. Or last a family of 4 for 3 months.

    NICE job here! Yep, cooking/preparing your OWN foods & meals is so important to saving $$ *and* your health! I would only add that after soaking your dried beans overnight, you need to DRAIN & RINSE them, and then go ahead and cook them up in fresh water. I cook up a pot of beans (OR lentils which require no soaking and are just as inexpensive as dried beans!) every Sunday for the week ahead. Yay!

    Black Beans and Rice (white or brown) are an excellent nutritional combination. BUT...SKIP the sugar. There's already enough calories/carbs in the rice.
    Best way, IMHO: Cook some chopped onions in tablespoon of olive oil for a few minutes, add 1 or 2 cloves of chopped garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then add the pre-cooked black beans (or drained/rinsed can of black beans). Add about 1/4 cup of water (or stock, or bean water). Cook for 15-20 min (or longer if you prefer softer beans). Salt/pepper to taste, and serve with rice and cooked green veggies (broccoli, or Kale, or spinach, etc.).

    You have to always well rinse dried beans and remove dirt and rocks. 😩 Add a boulion cube to the cooking rice. Or use some chicken broth with the water. And cut up green pepper and or onion . After serving add a splash of vinegar. And mild hot sauce. Tobasco is too expensive and too hot.

      A quarter cup of bacon is 4 slices, which would make about 1 slice per person. He also only used 2 tablespoons of brown sugar which is half a tablespoon (25 calories) per person. That doesn’t make the entire meal unhealthy, with that small a serving of bacon and sugar. He also mentioned you could omit it.
