Red Beans and Rice

This is very much, a taste your way though meal. I just keep adding spices until it tastes right, Usually a 2:1 ration cumin to chili powder, but not always.

I didn't have any bell pepper in the picture, we ate it as a snack, forgetting I wanted to use it in a dinner. Sorry the picture quality is not so good, I'm still figuring out the best way to photograph food and not get my messy kitchen in the background.
