Black Beans and Rice

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 sweet red peppers
(or 1 red and 1 green)
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. Dried thyme
2 c. cooked black beans
(I usually do 1 can, 15 oz)
2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 c. hot cooked rice
1 c. nonfat yogurt (optional)

Instructions:
Heat oil and saute onions, pepers, celery, garlic, and thyme until fragrant and tender (about 10 minutes). Add beans and vinegar. Cook until beans are hot, about 3 minutes. Serve over rice and top with yogurt. Although very filling, can be served as a side dish with meat. We like baked Tilapia.

Tilapia
Put fillet in a 9x9 baking dish. Add some lemon, butter, parsley, basil, italian seasonings, thyme, and whatever seasonings you desire for taste. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until fish is white.
