Successful Leftovers
My family is not terribly fond of leftovers; tonight, however, was an exception. Last night's black bean soup got reheated and beans smashed to thicken. I microwaved the rice and set out separate bowls of shredded Mexican cheese, chopped green onions, jalapeños, salsa and sour cream. I admit, not all ingredients were organic, but I always read my labels carefully when purchasing non-organic items. The fewer the ingredients, the better; no MSG, no high fructose corn syrup, nothing I couldn't spell in a spelling bee. I'm strictly organic on dairy. The tortillas were whole wheat. Each family member could construct his or her own burrito. As a result, the leftovers were successfully cleared away, everyone was making yum-yum noises, and no one had to go through a Taco Bell drive-through. I consider that a success.
