Beans & Rice doesn’t have to be boring :)

DISCLAIMER: I AM VEGETARIAN. FOR SOME BEANS AND RICE IS A STRUGGLE MEAL BUT I EAT IT QUITE OFTEN AS BEANS ARW MY SOURCE OF PROTEIN.

I spice it up with an okra mix and Hot or Fire Rotel, or as in the picture the off brand version of it.

Optional topping with cheese makes it even better.

Total cost of THIS VERSION of the meal $6-7

could cost a few dollars or less if you add more beans. #dealsandsteals #lemon8review #lemon8challenge #lemon8contest
