Easy Dinner tonight

Invite a few friends, ask them to bring their favorite dish, set the table (or not), and just enjoy!

Can you imagine if you could take away the dread of having company?

I’ve been there, Friends. I’ve made that initial invite, and then later regretted the commitment.

Why are commitments so hard these days, by the way?

Besides struggling with perfectionism, it doesn’t help that it’s a frustrating election year, and everyone is on pins and needles, or in utter disgust. It sort of takes away the party mood, that is for sure.

But we have to remember, November is the month of thanksgiving. No matter what is happening in our world, we need to come together, break bread, talk, share, and be there for each other!

Beans are a staple in Latin American cuisine, and now, Bush’s offers organic! BUSH’S® Organic Black Beans are grown in the United States.

They select the highest quality beans, ensuring the perfect taste and texture, which is why I love to use their assortments (garbanzo, kidney beans, black beans, to name a few), adding them to our favorite soups, dips, one-pot meals, and side dishes.

In the meantime, whip up a couple of potluck dishes, and get your friends over and around your table … this week?
