Whenever I return home after visiting my family it takes me a day or two to get back in the routine of cooking and eating well. I needed something easy to get me going. I soaked some black beans overnight and cooked them yesterday morning. Chili sounded good, but I was out of tomatoes, fresh or canned, so I dumped a box of Fantastic Foods taco filling into the pot. Then I added diced potato and a splash (~1/4 c. of red wine) and simmered about an hour. It doesn’t make for very good photos, but it was very satisfying and reminiscent of the beef-potato hash my mother used to make when I was a kid.
[I lost my camera while I was away, so I only have photos from my phone for now.]
