No-Fried Mexican Beans
1/4 cup dried pinto beans, soaked for 8 hours, rinsed, and drained
1 tsp canola oil
2 tbsp chopped onion
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp ground cumin
fresh ground pepper, to taste
2 dashes cayenne pepper
Mash the beans using a potato masher and a sturdy bowl (or use a food
processor). The beans should be broken up and mealy, but not completely
pureed.
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saut‚ the onions and
garlic for 3 to 4 minutes until the onions are soft. Add the mashed beans,
cumin, and black and red peppers. Stir well.
Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until some of the beans
begin to brown and stick slightly. This browning action will help give the
taste of authentic refried beans.
Cook until the desired consistency is achieved and serve.

Losing weight
If you enjoy eating, but want to drop a dress size and increase your all round vitality, then, as any dietician will tell you, you really should eat a thoughtfully calculated solid weight loss system. If possible, this should incorporate 5 standard portions of fruit & vegetables on a daily basis and also take in the optimum blend of carbohydrate, fat, and proteins.
When starting a weight loss program, people ordinarily become obsessed with chain store and branded food items professing to be 'low-fat'. This is most certainly incorrect, seeing as how an item might just be reduced in fat content, but nevertheless much too high in calories and carbohydrates.
When deciding on a weight loss system, you have to also endeavour to lower intake of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.
