New Year’s Eve Bean and Veggies with Rice
Since everyone had different plans for New Year’s Eve, I needed something that would be filling enough if that was all we ate, or it could be a starter for more food to be consumed at a New Year’s Eve  party.  This dish was a quick and easy hit.  I started rice in the Electric Pressure Cooker while I was preparing the other ingredients.
