a bachelorette fiesta!!

for my dear friend tiffany's bachelorette party, the group of us girls planned a fun "fiesta" to celebrate. i borrowed a recipe from my friend dawn and it was such a hit. i wanted to share it plus some photos from the weekend.


cristin, brooke, christy, me, jennifer, and tiffany (the bride) in purple

tiffany and christy, the matron of honor


fiesta rice and beans
(again, recipe compliments of my friend Dawn)

8 servings:
2 cans of black, red, or pinto beans (or a combination), drained
2 cans of corn, drained, or the equivalent amount of frozen corn
16-28 ounces of salsa (you don't want it runny, but you don't want it dry, either)
1 pound or so of ground beef or chicken
1-2 tsp chili powder
1-2 tsp cumin

mix everything together til heated through (obviously, cook the meat first!). serve over rice and with tortilla chips. use 3 cups of rice/6 cups of water for that 8 servings.
