Here are the meal plans for the second half of January! Meals with black beans will be prepared using my absolute favorite recipe. This base recipe yields the equivalent of 4 cans of black beans. While they are flavorful as is, I do season the beans when I use them in different recipes. They freeze well in old Talenti containers I stocked up on last summer.
