President Obama with the help of powerhouse Michelle Obama signed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act!!
Top with a little cheese, a dollop-ette of sour cream, avocados, cilantro, salsa or any combo of those.
It took a while, but what a concept! If we are compassionate enough to feed children who may not have any other reliable source of food, shouldn't that compassion extend into feeding them healthy, nourishing food?
Speaking of healthy nourishing food, I made a really great dish the other day that I would love to share. Unfortunately like many of my recipes, there are no measurements.
Rice and Beans ramped up.
Saute onions and garlic in olive oil until the onions are golden and transparent.
Add chopped jalapenos and cumin seeds, and saute for one more minute.
Add 1 can black beans and salt to taste. Allow to cook.
Add cooked brown rice (about same quantity as the black beans) and mix with the ingredients well.
Add frozen corn, chopped tomatoes (enough to make it a little saucy). Could also add bell peppers.
Add chili powder to taste, salt to taste, ground cumin to taste. Add a fresh squeeze of lime or lemon.
Top with a little cheese, a dollop-ette of sour cream, avocados, cilantro, salsa or any combo of those.
Serve with warmed corn tortillas (I heated these on my cast iron skillet with just a little oil and then rolled them up to serve).
