Day 3- Red Bean Goulash

I know what you're thinking- "Day 3 and she's already behind!" And yes, I forgot all about updating for Day 3. Luckily, I remembered at 5:30 this morning when I was nursing the baby. First, let's have a little pity party for waking up at 5:30 to nurse the baby since she normally sleeps till closer to 7. Secondly, here's last night's delicious dinner. I made enough for 4 but there were no leftovers. There never are. First, cook some rice. We do brown rice (Cajun Grain from the Farmers' Market) over here. 1 cup of rice, 2 cups of water; cover it, bring it to a boil, lower the heat to 2 and cook about 20 minutes. Done. Meanwhile, heat a splash of oil in a large pot. Add diced onion, diced green bell pepper, and cubed garlic (I like a lot!) Saute all that for a few minutes until it's somewhat tender. Open up a can of diced tomatoes and a can of chili beans and add to the pot. I used to use a can of Blue Runner Creole Style Red Beans and it made a much creamier and thicker red bean goulash but I used a regular can of chili beans this time and Lucas liked it better. Whatever works. Cook for about 10 minutes, then lower the heat and let it simmer for a few more. Scoop some rice in a bowl and top with the goulash. Yummy, yummy. Now we're up to date. Are you happy now?
