  1. Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't actually think that picture is all that similar to your recipe.

  2. LOL! It's not, I don't have a pic of her recipe as she did not take one and I haven't tried it yet. Do you think I should just put up a pic of some of the beans used? I think I will. Thanks for noticing!

  6. ALWAYS FRUSTRATED THAT RECIPES DO NOT GIVE SIZE OF ONE SERVING.

    1. yes, I can see that. There are approximately 8 cups of ingredients in total and the servings are 12. That would mean there is approximately 3/4 cups per serving. Hope that helps.
