There's no cooking like grandma's! I'll tell you that. And it's like my Mom didn't lose anything that she was taught.

i love beans and I make them alot. I live about 10 minutes from mexico, so my community is mostly hispanics and they make beans everday. I watch what they put in the cart at the market and its all about the same. tons of beans,a bag of rice, a large bag of bananas,other fresh fruits,eggs,milk,flour for tortillas and some meat. And they are all so healthy looking .

Clara, this is great! It's also a great suggestion for anyone on a budget and conscience of their weekly spending. I would recommend this dish to them. I wonder how it would be if you added spinach to it? You are really great Clara and look fantastic too. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed watching your video.
