7. No, I did not have bread, although some cornbread would have been good with it

The recipe includes rice cooked with coconut milk and water. It is yummy. I just didn't have any coconut milk.
The cool thing about this dish is by trading off the beef for chickpeas or black beans you have a vegetarian dish. Maybe even vegan.

I'm just putting together tacos, chalupas, and cheesy mexican rice. Your menu sounds so much better than mine!

We are having bacon, eggs, grits, toast. Stuffed peppers in the near future. Still haven't had a fried green tomato but I will. Summer.
