    One of our favorite good brown rice recipes is Black Beans and Rice. It took me a few years to warm up to the idea of eating black beans and rice, because I never thought I would like it. It is a very inexpensive meal and is very filling.

    You can make this entire meal for around $4.00, and have leftovers for lunch the next day! Our black beans and rice recipe was adapted from the recipe in the Dinosaur BBQ Cookbook, here is how we make it:
