Now that the beautiful weather is here to stay, let the delicious light food eating begin! If you love black beans just as much as I do, you’re going to really like this recipe; it’s healthy and light. I am always receiving emails about different things to make in the kitchen, and I recently came across this recipe, which you can find here.

I thought this would be a great idea to make for lunch during my work week. It’s quick and easy, taking just 20 minutes to make. Not only is it great for lunch, but it’s also a delicious recipe you can put together for picnics or cookouts!

      It was sooo good! I really should do a post on his salsa! I’m sure he’d be mad if I said his secret ingredients though 🙁

      Oh my goodness that’s a great idea! Avocado is my all time favorite. I think I’m going to have to do that next time!
