I forget about a lot of the different kinds of beans that are out there. I may try to do the same thing - give up one meal a day to do rice and beans. Maybe I could find a few recipes that Jason will like! :) They have some good recipes on the Rice and Beans blog – super creative ideas.

My hubby is very picky about beans as well, so I'll have to be creative with disguising the flavor. Thanks for the Blood:Water reference! I'll look more into that!

Thank you for sharing! I'm not sure that I could get Jason on board, since he hates beans . . . but maybe I could sub out a meal a week or something. . . I'm going to look into the website and find out more. Blood:Water Mission does something similar, where you give up all beverages in your diet for a period of time, opting for water instead, donating the money you would have spent on coffee/beer/wine/soda to Blood:Water for them to use to build wells.

I LOVE that you're doing this. I'm usually a lurker (stalker) of your site (:-)), but I thought I would come out of the shadows to share something you might be interested in... http://eatriceandbeans.com/. Basically, this movement is encouraging people to eat rice and beans for the month of March to mirror the meals of those with limited incomes in East Africa. The money you save on groceries for the month can then be donated to East Africa. I think it will be fun and challenging to see how you can keep just rice and beans interesting. Anyway...thanks for your thoughts on this site. You keep me thinking. Hi Elizabeth!

It seems like micro loans are growing very popular. I am involved with KIVA, who also work with micro lenders to help small businesses in countries with poor economies.
