Did you the refried bean recipe? If you did what did you think? We had some leftover beans again last night and I added some homemade salsa and jazzed it up a bit and they were great. Like I said before never buying store bought again. We are going to pressure can our own pinto beans so we can make smaller batches when we want.

I "sort" of made that recipe. It was too late to slow cook it, so I pretty much followed the recipe but did it on the stove. I did a "quick soak" first, then rinsed the beans, then put it on to boil, using all of the ingredients except the salt. Very good stuff! I may have lost some of the flavor by the rinse, but the payoff the next day is well worth it.
Do let me know how the pressure canning works for you. I have a canning book but haven't yet attempted to do my own canning yet. I buy pintos at a local health food store, right out of the bins. Very, very inexpensive! It'd be awesome to have them always available. Thanks so much for the recipe!
Dinner last night was lemon herb grilled chicken, brown Basmati rice, baby peas, and salad.
Dinner tonight will be roasted salmon, quinoa with onions and carrots, cooked spinach, and salad.
