If you know anything about Dave Ramsey you know exactly what I am talking about. If you haven’t heard of him then I highly recommend googling him and listen to his podcast. Me and my husband have been on his Financial Peace program for almost two years now. We have had a lot of ups and downs and have not been “perfect” on getting out of debt. But, we are constantly learning and striving to get there.
So you might be asking, so what the heck does beans and rice, rice and beans have anything to do with this. Well, it is a way of eating when you are strapping down and getting out of debt. Does it mean you literally have to eat beans and rice all the time….no but it is healthy 🙂 I personally have noticed that I feel better eating beans and rice. I guess it can technically be a vegetarian “diet” but we do add meat in small amounts to mix it up. Over the next few posts I will be providing easy recipes that have beans and rice in them. I have gotten pretty creative with our meals and they turn out pretty darn good. I also have been learning tricks on spreading our meals “thin” to make the most of our food and money. Our family loves it and it is less expensive than most meals out there. Oh and pennies compared to fast food! We do like to eat out occasionally but that is normally to Chick fil a and Texas roadhouse . We still live but just limited to spending a ton of money.
Tonight I will be cooking one of our “mega” beans and rice meals and will be posting that tonight or tomorrow so you can see what I am talking about. Stay tuned, this is very exciting for me to share our beans, rice and other sort of recipes. And also, stay tuned for our first football food night this Thursday and family homemade pizza Friday’s. This is ONE very exciting week!
