Any Day of the Week Rice & Beans

It is what is says…any day of the week, rice and beans plus vegetables.  It makes a great, fast, healthy dinner and it is a staple in our house. I always have beans that I have soaked and precooked. They are either ready to go in the refrigerator or stored in the right servign size for us in the freezer. I always have rice and of course, a fresh assortment of vegetables.
