THE PETERSENS

I have been busy the last couple of months trying to slim down our grocery budget since our boys keep eating more and more.  They are growing!  This has involved baking all of our bread, clipping coupons, scouring the Internet for frugal tips, etc.  These are things that I have been enjoying.  However, the time has arrived when I have yet to learn to eat another food that I despise, due to its economical nature.  Throughout our marriage, Ben has always encouraged me to learn how to like foods that I HATE.  So far, I have learned how to like olives, pickles, peas and chili.  Next food on the list?  BEANS.  Today we had bean and cheese tacos for lunch.  Next week we have two vegetarian dishes involving beans.  Oh Lord, help me!  Do you have any amazing vegetarian recipes you’d like to share with me?
