I have a friend who is a generation older than me but very fond of cooking . I am amazed at her skills and energy . Her grandkids dote on her as she cooks best of everything . Seriously . Incidentally we meet everyday in the gym and our topic to discuss is new recipes !
On one such discussion she told me about the Skillet Bread with Beans . It definitely sounded like a dish which would be appreciated at home . She refused to give me the recipe , so we decided we meet and make it together . So all gym friends decided to meet at her place for lunch and while the rest were jabbering we both made the Bread with Beans . Since all prep work was done before, it was a breeze to make the actual dish.
The bread turned out extremely soft and with those beans made a complete meal . There were loads of more dishes but the Skillet Bread with Beans was the star of the day and my Day 2 post for the Special Theme.
