3 bean salad and other shenanigans

If it isn't one thing, it's defiantly another. The husband was playing with our son on the carpet in his new Toy Story play tent when he got bit by a fire ant on the achilles tendon. Pulled the papasan back to find a marching line of fire ants. AWESOME... now that I had an excuse to take the munchkin to the park nearby while the husband put down ant traps, I was talking to my sister about her daily drama when I was approached by a fellow Boricua who was able to identify a fellow comrade by my Spanish. We exchanged digits and I look forward to making some tostones with her. Came home and whipped up this recipe due to it's easy prep, high protein content, low fat content, and plenty of fiber (and flavor!).

Ingredients:
1 can Organic Black Beans
1 can Organic Garbanzo Beans
1 can Organic Pinto Beans
1/3 chopped Sweet Onion
1/2  a bushel of FRESH Cilantro
Pinch of Black Pepper
2 juicy Lemons
2 Tbsp of Olive Oil
Salt to taste

Mix all together in a bowl and voila!

Below is a pic of my preferred salt and olive oil brands.




And I'll leave you with five raging red jalapenos from my personal garden just because.
