I tried out one recipe from last week that used my home canned pinto beans and it was a success. My husband loved it and so did I. I made homemade refried beans and then made my nachos (with no meat and brown rice) with them. I will share the recipe tomorrow. It is so easy and delicious! I will also be trying out some homemade baked bean recipes with my canned pinto beans.
I also tried an interesting recipe last week which some of us liked and some of us did not. It is called Banana Cakes - go check it out. I personally liked it.
This week I will making some meals and also freezing extras to try some recipes out for something I am working on. I have already done several this past week and have had pretty good success. I am planning to do another big freezer day towards the end of this month. I haven't done one in a little while so we will see how it goes.

Good for you for canning pinto beans! I definitely prefer my home canned beans to the dried or store-bought cans. Enjoy your week!
