supervising from the couch: Southwest Bean Salad

Southwest Bean Salad

This is especially for Shawn and Melissa—we were talking about salad recipes this morning, and it gave me an idea of what to fix for dinner tonight. I love this salad, and it is so unbelievably healthy that I'm hoping it will offset our family home evening treat! Rob tells me he's posting his favorite side dish for this meal here.

here's the story:

I was interviewed for a newpaper article about kids and sleep, and quoted as saying something like "when I'm tired, I feel like supervising from the couch." Ever since, it's been our catch phrase for slacker parenting. Ironically, I only had one child at the time and we were practically attached at the hip. Now that I have four older kids, they spend chunks of time playing without even the benefit of me watching from the couch. However, I do try to come running if it sounds like there might be blood. Somehow they have all thrived in spite of me.
