Are you up for some healthy recipes? I can’t say this was a planned meal but day-1 of my biblical fast I wasn’t much in the mood to cook. I can only eat fruits, whole grains and vegetables and I had arugula for lunch so I needed something that would fill me up a bit. I love black beans and I had a ripe avocado so I thought, hey…why not make black beans and avocado. And so…there you have it. I have to tell you, it was really delicious. If I wasn’t on this Daniel Fast I would add chorizo to it, add a little white wine and cook it off. Stay tuned for that dish.
