Sometimes I hijack this blog for my own greedy purposes. Which is what I'm doing today. Well, sort of. Because this isn't really for me; it's for you.
I'm doing a giveaway of my new YA book, Grey Stone. You get a free copy of the book plus a $10 Amazon gift card.
So hop on my cheapalings. You know you love useful, free things. Find the link for the GIVEAWAY right HERE.
And because you also deserve a recipe, I'll give you a super cheap one in honor of the character (from Grey Stone) Pietre. In Grey Stone, the humans are the lowest of the races, forced to try to live and farm on the most destitute and sterile lands in their world. Pietre gets pretty hungry at a certain point in the book. Bet he wishes he had the internet so he could look up this recipe and make it.
Lucky for you, you do. I'm giving you the easiest tastiest black beans ever. I don't looove black beans. I like them fine. I eat them in certain recipes. But I rarely just make black beans and eat them. Correction: I used to not just make black beans and eat them. Now I do. Because these are delicious, super quick, and super flavorful. They can be eaten with rice or tortillas or chips or thrown into salads or just spooned out and snacked on. Enjoy.
