Is it so wrong to eat chicken tenders and cottage fries one night?
And then the next night another fried food feast?
That wasn't so bad, was it?
And then the next night a big steak dinner?
Um, and a tiramisu which I refused to share with anybody?
Probably?
Dang.

That's why I cooked clean last night.
This Maui Black Bean Soup recipe is out of Tosca Reno's Eat Clean cookbook and it is fantastic. It's my Go-To meal for energy and re-centering back to a week of healthy eating. This soup is a palette pleaser with all the spices and fresh vegetables, it fills ya up without busting a gut or a pocketbook and, is just as good or better the next day.
This looks like a lot of prep work but the chopping goes very, very quick and the only other time-consuming task after that is finding the can opener.

These are the ingredients that you will need, minus the corn because that was in the microwave. BTW, those aren't rotten tomatoes, those are ROASTED tomatoes that just came out of the oven. (The recipe calls for a can of diced tomatoes but I like to make my own).
