Drunken Pinto Beans

Take the cooking time on these beans with a grain of salt. I cooked them for the recommended 2 hours or so and they weren’t done. So I cooked them overnight in the crockpot on low. There’s probably a better way, but eh.

Red Chile Rice

Ok, John and I are officially obsessed with this recipe. Sure, you have to make a spice paste, but the paste makes enough for like three batches of rice. Once that’s done, it’s ridiculously easy and tastes like you’ve slaved over this. Courtesy of cookbook “Rick Bayless’s Mexican Kitchen.”
