Since Jason is in Kentucky this week, Allison and I have been trying to have a low-key, quiet girls week at home. We've been looking up new recipes to try for dinner, and while I loathe grocery shopping, it's been fun browsing the aisles looking for new ingredients to shake up our home cooked dinners. We did a Tex-Mex Taco Bowl dinner on Wednesday, but Thursday we were both feeling not only under the weather because of the excessive heat and humidity in our area, but because we did our blood drive donations and were feeling a bit drained after the procedure. Neither of us felt like spending a lot of time in the kitchen, nor were we wanting anything that would sit heavy in the belly. She suggested something like cowboy caviar, but ended up finding this Three Bean Salad recipe on Golden Blossom Honey that we thought sounded not only better, but easier all around. 

 

 

Not only is this a great recipe for a quick meal option, with the summer heat still heavy on our shoulders and the upcoming Labor Day holiday, it's a great one to have on hand for any parties or picnics you may be planning. Since it has minimal ingredients, short prep and cook time, and can be made up to 12 hours in advance, this dish is one that's perfect for busy families, or lazy folk like myself who just don't feel like putting in a lot of effort into meal prep during the dog days of summer. If you have little hands in the kitchen that want to help, this is a recipe that I think would be easy enough for young kids to help make, with a little supervision.

*I am running a bit behind on the blog again, but I will get your comments published and responded to this weekend. Some of you have asked if I'm getting them, so just a heads up. Yes, they are coming through, I just need a little time to get things sorted on the home/work front and then I'll be back on schedule. Thanks for your patience!
