Below is a wonderful recipe that a friend shared with me. This Jamaican Black Bean Stew is not only delicious, but makes your house smell so good while it's cooking! I love that it's full of nutrition and color. The sweet potato and butternut squash combination is awesome! Hope you get a chance to cook this soon and make sure you let me know what you think!
Also, I started blogging on January 1st of this year and started a Facebook page on January 13th. I am amazed how many readers have subscribed to the blog and overwhelmed with all the people who have "liked" the Facebook page! This tells me that people want to clean up their diet and feel better than ever! So exciting!!! Please continue to spread the word! Tell friends and family about REAL Food on a REAL Budget......forward my e-mails to others....share my Facebook posts.....the more people who are passionate about REAL food eating, the more changes we should see in the food industry. I posted this quote on my Facebook page the other day from Anna Lappe, "Every time you spend money, you're casting a vote for the kind of world you want." I find this so powerful and I hope it fires you up too!
Have a great evening and remember to continue to READ THOSE LABELS!

Ingredients:
-brown rice (or quinoa, one of my favorite grains, would be a good substitution)
-sweet potatoes
-butternut squash
-onion
-vegetable broth (I used homemade chicken stock)*
-fresh garlic
-curry powder
-ground allspice
-ground red pepper
-salt
-black beans (I used dried beans.)**
-raisins
-fresh lime juice (I used pure lime juice that I had in the refrigerator)
-diced tomatoes
-cucumber (I omitted this ingredient)
*I used enough stock to cover the vegetables (around 6 cups).
**I prefer to use dried beans because they are cheaper and don't have the added sodium. I soaked the beans overnight and cooked them the following morning. Then prepared the soup later that day.
