About


Everyday I try to come up with new ideas to incorporate vegetables into our meals. I spent a year as a vegetarian while living in Kenya but still struggle when thinking what to make for lunch and supper so that it is healthy and we all enjoy it. This is a simple meal by itself and very easy to make. I always have beans at home because where I come from it is a staple food.
