Bowl of Goodness

I am trying to increase the amount of veggies I eat. I am not very good about getting all of the servings I should. I don't really know why, I like the taste of all sorts of vegetables. I am also trying to incorporate more whole grains in my diet, so..... I made this little dish~

1 cup of Brown Rice ( I found the organic kind at Wal-Mart). I cook mine in half water and half organic chicken stock.

Saute': Red Pepper, Onion, Mushroom, Carrots, Celery and Garlic in a small amount of Olive Oil (You can use any kind of vegetables you like, these are just some of my favorites) Season with salt, pepper, oregano and cumin.

When veggies are almost finished, add one can of drained and rinsed black beans and heat through. Add cooked rice and stir well.

Enjoy a bowl of goodness knowing that it not only tastes good, but is very good for you.
