Black Bean Confetti Salad

This works equally well as a small salad–even tossed with salad greens for more bulk–or alongside salsa fresca for scooping up with a tortilla chip.

2 15-ounce cans black beans, drained and well-rinsed
4 bell peppers, a mix of colors, chopped into a small dice
1/2 super-large or 1 medium white onion, chopped into a small dice
Juice of one lime
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
Optional: If you’re the kind of person who loves cilantro, it’s a great match for this salad.

Mix beans, bell peppers and white onion in a large bowl. In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk remaining ingredients into a vinaigrette. Ideally, you’ll have a 1/2 cup of dressing. Pour it over the bean mixture, toss it well and adjust seasonings to taste.

(i added a little more honey, some chili powder and garlic powder to the vinaigrette too.)

Plants!

so i had to move the plants i have in the bedroom to try to figure out how the a/c is gonna go into the window. i moved the giant spider plant i have... (sidenote: how cute is roland eyeing the plant from under the bedskirt? haha)



it seriously seems to be exploding with babies...



and i found this in my aloe plant. yeah thats right... the aloe plant that i thought wasnt doing well because it didnt seem to be getting bigger seems to have like 4 baby aloes in there with it. maybe theyre choking it out and thats why its stopped progressing. so crazy.
