Thanks Carol Copeland for sharing this on the Facebook page!

my mom cooked this for me when I was little back in the 50's. Two cups milk, one cup rice, bring to a boil very slowly and cook until done. THEN put lots of BUTTER, CINNAMON AND SUGAR!!!!!

Beans and rice. (With a Spicy Avocado Sauce recipe.)

The idea isn't a new one. Cultures all over the world consume these two staple foods for most meals of the day.

Here in the United States these foods go almost unknown in most households. So now, I invite you to try them out for breakfast. Notice how you feel for the remainder of the day. I am not really all that hungry during for the remainder of the day when I start out with this meal.

Bean and Rice Breakfast Bowls with a Spicy Avocado Sauce

The avocado sauce is what makes this breakfast so yummy. It is super fast to prepare. It only requires you to toss everything into a blender and blend. Chop up a few green onions for a garnish and you are good to go!

cooked beans (try pink, pinto, adzuki, or black)

cooked Sticky Brown Rice

chopped fresh arugula, Napa cabbage, or romaine lettuce

chopped green onions

Add all ingredients to a bowl and top with the avocado sauce below.

Spicy Avocado Sauce

2 medium, ripe avocados

1 to 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded

large handful of fresh cilantro

juice of 1 small lime

1/4 cup water (or more for a thinner sauce)

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Add more water for a thinner sauce. Taste and add more salt if necessary. Store extra sauce in a small glass container with a squeeze of lime over the top to prevent browning.
