Anyway, I had been craving a soup with beans. So, I raided the cabinets and came up with the following.
I started out with 8 oz of dried red kidney beans and 8 oz of dried navy beans. (I really wanted pintos, but there were none in the cabinet). I read that you could quick soak them by bringing to a rapid boil for 2 minutes then turning off and letting them soak for 1 hour. Worked great! 
I added all the stuff in the first picture and let it simmer on the stove for 2-3 hours. I added cheddar cheese and served with Fritos (okay...not healthy, but again...all I had). This really hit the spot and was yummy!! This has been what I have been craving lately at night. (Well...I have been craving ice cream, but this is a close second) Strawberry yogurt (I can't do the unflavored!) and Kashi Go Lean Crunch.
And finally, I checked out the Thirty One Gifts website through a blog link and I think I might start selling it just with catalog shows. I'm pretty excited about it. When I get it off and running, I'm thinking we might have to have a giveaway!! :)

Melissa,
Do you have somebody to sign up underneath? If not, you could always sign up under me, and we could bounce ideas off of each other etc.
Just a thought. You may already know somebody, and that's great, but if not, let me know.
Thanks,
Stephanie
