Sorry about the lack of posts recently – our internet has been really unreliable this weekend. I think (hope!) the problem is fixed now, so you should be hearing from me a little more regularly now. Still, to make up for the lack of posting since Thursday, here’s a bonus post from me (it’s my southwestern three-bean-salad recipe, since I found out I don’t really like traditional three-bean salads).
Anyway, I have no idea how much I weigh right now because I didn’t weigh myself this morning. Yesterday morning I was at 194 lbs even, but I had McDonald’s for lunch today (no time, no choices!) so we’ll see what happens.
I hate my new fat scale.

Makes 4 servings as a main dish, 6 servings as a side dish
Ingredients:
- 1 15 oz can Black Beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 15 oz can Pinto Beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 15 oz can Kidney Beans (drained and rinsed)
- 8 oz chunky salsa
- Avocado
- Fat-free Sour Cream
Directions:
1. Drain and rinse all the canned beans, and combine in a bowl. (Draining and rinsing is extremely important, which is why it is listed here in the directions and also in the ingredients: you can drastically reduce your sodium intake simply by rinsing the beans of the sauce they are canned in!)
2. Add salsa to the beans and mix completely. (For extra kick, add chili powder/peppers to taste or simply use a spicier salsa). Refrigerate at least fifteen minutes.
3. Top individual servings with sliced avocado and fat-free sour cream to taste. (Important: if you will be serving some of the salad now and saving some for later, do not add the avocado and sour cream in until you are ready to serve.)
