To-Do Tuesday: Motivation, plz!
Posted by: Lizzie
This is my first “To-Do Tuesday” post, and I’m praying that I actually follow through. Cause you know what they say about intention. I’m the worst at meaning to do things, wanting to do things, and then not getting around to actually doing. It’s downright embarrassing! Without further ado, here is my list for the week:
• Clean out my email inbox (always on the list!)
• Dust the house before Saturday’s crop
• Put together a Creative Memories order
• Do yoga!! Or go jogging!! Or do something by way of exercise!!
• Incorporate beans into at least one meal a day
So about that last one: we have beans literally falling out of our cabinets that we get with WIC every month and we have done poorly to actually use them! I managed to fix up some black beans last night with our dinner, and I threw a can in the crock pot this morning with some chicken, salsa, and rice. I’d like to learn how to make croquettes and maybe hummus if I can remember to buy tahini.
If you have any deliciously simple bean recipes, please link me to them! I’m drowning here…

Your bean dilemma is just begging for a big crockpot of Chili – make it your way – throw into a crockpot:
1)a variety of beans, our faves are kidney, black, pinto
2)tomatoes – chunked, chopped, diced, sauced, whatever
3)onions, bell peppers, garlic as desired
4)pre-cooked meat of your choice (or not)
5)chili powder according to desired spice level
6)corn, if desired – adds a southwestern flair
7)you can also use chili starters like Ro-tel
The key to this recipe is HOW YOU WANT IT.
It can be ready in just a few hours on high heat and of course can simmer on low all day
(or can be cooked stovetop for quicker cooking time)

Aha, it’s the intention thing that caused me to start blogging my to-do lists, to make me accountable because others were watching

Do you read Pioneer Woman at all? Check out her cooking section, she has a TON of bean recipes lately!
How’d you do this week? I did okay myself, not as good as I would’ve liked. Ready for a new week, and ready to finish some of the projects I started and stopped.
