Really?? Must you go there?

So, if 50 Cent's run in with parents of children with autism last year over his insensitive tweet didn't quite grab your attention, Drake & J.Cole have brought it all back again.

A Bean Stew Kind of Day

Today it's a little chilly. It also happens to be Stewsday in our household, so I thought I'd share our favourite stew recipe. It's easy on the budget too. :)

2-400g(approx 14oz) tins of beans. Can be any kind you like but be sure to rinse them first.
400g tin of chopped tomatoes
2 stalks celery, chopped
Medium onion, chopped
Chicken stock cube or 400g(14oz) chicken stock
2-3 bay leaves, depending on size and your preference
1/2 tsp medium chili powder, or more to taste
1 tsp ground cumin
Cooking oil to sauté onion and celery
Crumbled feta cheese, optional
Guacamole, optional

Place onion and celery in medium saucepan with a quick dash of oil and cook over medium heat until celery greens up. Add tin of tomatoes. If using stock, add to pan. If using stock cube, use the tomatoes tin to add two tins of water and add stock cube. Add other spices and heat to a boil. Cook over medium-low heat until liquid is reduced in half, about 45 mins. Add rinsed beans and cook additional 10 mins. If using feta, add to pan for the last 5 mins or just before serving. Serves 4, or 2 if starving. Top with guacamole, optional but yum! As you can see from the photo, very little was left. CJ is finishing it off now.
