First the Beans and Rice Challenge update

I've started working on my budget for the new year.
My take home check is about $1,100 every 2 weeks.
Below are my monthly fixed expenses.
Rent 600
Credit Cards 265
IM Exp 215
Bike Loan 164
Storage 70
Bike Ins 38
Gym Membership 28
Phone 27
Total 1407
NOTES
Rent - Includes utilities. 3 bedroom house on 5 acres
Credit Cards – From self-improvement workshops, easy to rationalize
IM Exp – Internet Marketing Expenses, more about this later
Storage – Storage unit half way across the country. Biggest waste!
Golds Gym – Membership expires in February.
Phone - $100 subsidy from employer. Droid!
More on the budget as I have time to work on it.

How about hot rice with brown sugar and cinnamon for breakfast?
How about some tortillas and cheese to use some of those beans with?
Also you can mash up black beans and mix in a cheap brownie mix and bake them. Seriously. I saw a blog once about a woman trying to use beans and rice every day sort of a Dave Ramsey challenge thingee too. If I can find it I will direct you to it.

I once made a dessert from a Chinese cookbook using sweetened, mashed, redbeans as a filler for baked apples. My friends tasted them, and would not finish them.
But I think your idea to start with unseasoned beans and rice and work up from there so as to more greatly appreciate flavors is an interesting idea!
