Yummy Brunch!

Black Beans with sundried tomatoes, feta & avocado, Fried Plantains & Cornmeal Muffins. :) Black Beans: First, I sautéed a couple cloves of garlic, 1 shallot & about 1/4 cup of sundried tomatoes in coconut oil for a few minutes. I then added 1 tsp each of powdered cumin, coriander & chili powder; quickly stir then add in black beans ( I used a 28 oz can of organic black beans). After simmering for about 5 minutes I added chopped cilantro & simmered another 5 min. Add salt & pepper to taste. When serving , I topped with crumbled feta cheese & cubed avocado.
