After school and a meeting and some outdoor exercise time in the sun (cold sun, but sun) I was ready for a hot and easy dinner. I sampled some black bean soup at Trader Joe’s this weekend and since I liked it, I bought the simple ingredients. I love how they give samples because I usually end up loving what they offer and buying it!

Here were the ingredients for the soup. This is it.

  1. Low Fat Black Bean Soup
  2. Corn and Chili Relish – tomatoless salsa
  3. Black Beans – Cuban Style

These simple things turned into this:

Yum!

We paired it with these delicious paninis:

Mine included:

  • two pieces of 100% whole wheat Nature Pride bread
  • laughing cow light cheese
  • spinach
  • hot pepper relish
  • Brady’s guac

I am going to head to bed early and then hopefully wake up to go to spinning at 6am! We will see if that happens. 🙂
