Chicken with black beans and yellow rice is one of the easiest weeknight meals that we make at our house. It is great served as a bowl ~ or add your favorite lettuce and serve it as a salad. Below, I will share how easy it is to make the chicken~ and I will also share our favorite mango salsa side dish for something different. For the rice, cook according to directions. For the black beans, we use Progresso black beans and simply heat in a pan on the stove.

LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE PARTY
What began as a simple gesture to introduce my daughter to a wonderful book series has become a special evening ritual for us- reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books! I must admit, I didn’t realize quite how interesting these books would be to her, but she cannot wait to read all nine in the series. It was only fitting that her birthday party focus around Little House on the Prairie! Together, we had a ball planning all of the details of her party that related to the books in some way. At Camille’s request, we focused on some of her favorite parts of the stories… prairie flowers, covered wagons, tee pees, the colors in the drawings of the books, and “pretty”…because “Ma” liked things to be pretty!
