What I Eat In A Day + Plus My Favorite Beans and Rice Recipe!

[@mamatofive1]

Yumm! I love a simple beans and rice too...so simple, and inexpensive too. I need to start making protein balls! 😊

[@JoyForney]

Hooray for inexpensive!!! If you make some protein balls let me know what you think!!

[@jessicaz.1901]

Thanks for sharing this. Looks like you really have your hands full with little Sanjay! Will keep you in prayer.

[@JoyForney]

Yes my hands are very full, but I am very happy!!!! Exhausted, but happy! :)

[@KarenReep]

Love beans and rice, thanks for sharing this! I’ve been looking forward to this one!❤️

[@JoyForney]

You are so welcome! Make sure to use the recipe down below because, of course, in the video, I forgot to talk about the spices I add. DUH! Sheesh. One day I will get it all together! :)

[@scott-kathywilson7483]

Thanks for sharing. I enjoy protein balls for breakfast with almond milk and protein powder! So yummy. Most mornings I have a berry smoothie. I haven’t thought to add greens though. Sounds like a great nutritious boost.

[@jaecamillerose]

Thanks so much for sharing! No sweets, desserts, or snacking? Very impressive!

[@JoyForney]

Just the protein balls for snacking and I will have dessert at a party or if we are at someone's house to eat. :)

[@DansonforJoy]

This was fun to see! Do you drink tea or coffee, and if so, is it a regular habit or once in a while? :) (Forgive me if you actually mentioned this in the video and I missed it. I was making MY coffee while watching. LOL)

[@TheEMC99]

Beans and rice.... this sounds like a video sponsored by Dave Ramsey. 😂 I love it!

[@powerpredatorofficial8818]

Question: Do you have dessert regularly or is Coke Zero your daily sweet? I'm curious because I struggle with controlling my sweet intake.

[@dtoplov9]

Hi Joy, Do you rotate and have your older kids help out with the cooking, like prep work or making it all themselves?

[@kristal5260]

I bet that I could eat beans and rice several times a week, but my husband doesnt like rice OR beans.🤔 Bummer!😣 Your recipe looks delicious!!!! Thank you for sharing. You really are a Joy!!😍😍😍

[@JoyForney]

Bummer. You could always have a main meat and a veg with beans and rice on the side?! I think our family is just used to it as my hubby grew up in Brazil and my kids grew up in Indonesia and here, so they don't really know life without beans and rice! :) Thanks for your sweet comments. I always LOVE seeing you here in my comments!!

[@kristal5260]

Joy Forney I feel blessed to have found your channel! You're inspiring!😍

[@jaimezuniga4702]

Thanks for the recipes!!

[@quietandlight9491]

Hi Joy, I love your videos so much. Do you still take the same supplements? Do you take them all at the same time in the morning?

[@LovedHappy]

yum, it all looks delicious! I'm a big fan of beans and rice too :) So simple, but there are so many ways to make them both really tasty!

[@JoyForney]

Glad you like them too! SO good to see you here often! Thanks for being a bright spot in my comment section! :)

[@LovedHappy]

Joy Forney aw I’m happy to be here! I adore you

[@JoyForney]

Back at you girlie!!!

[@lolmakeup5786]

Can you do more of these videos and maybe even what you eat in a week to see more

[@Jessiemadanat]

What was the adrenal medicine? Looking for a good one thanks

[@jennifermcsweeney8557]

Sister I’m with ya on the coke except mine is a Diet Pepsi. Love my Diet Pepsi. And yes i know it’s terrible for me but it tastes sooooo good. Lol. Love you Joy.

[@JoyForney]

There's just something about it that tasted so good, huh?!?! Glad you have your little happy drink too. :) I adore you!!

[@timerickson7334]

We live here in Uganda too. Do you buy the black beans at the market? I haven't seen them very often. I guess any beans could work. We love mexican food too! The ingredients are so fresh here!

[@timerickson7334]

comment from Kiera Erickson (not my husband)

[@JoyForney]

Hi Kiera!! I get them dry in a bag at a local store...I don't know where you are? I buy fresh beans from the market for Ugandan style beans on Mondays, but Wednesdays are Mexican beans so I use the black beans....if you are in K'la I can direct you! Why have we not met?!?!?!

[@timerickson7334]

Hi Joy! We are in Mbale. My husband is the director of the CURE children's hospital. (We treat hydrocephalus and spina bifida) We have been here for about 3 years now. We only get to Kampala every few months! We may have some mutual connections... We are currently fostering a sweet 2 year old boy who was a patient at CURE but had come from Ekisa Ministry in Jinga. Did you work with Ekisa before? I thought I had heard that you did. Anyway, it is a small world here in Uganda. It would be great to cross paths sometime!

[@JoyForney]

Grrr. I just wrote a really long response and it disappeared.....let me write it again a little later...

[@joyfulacres5484]

Do you drain the can of olives?

[@JoyForney]

I usually do...but you could really do either!

[@Rayisbetter12313]

Oh girl, I got off track, well I'm still of track slowly getting back after having our fourth son, it's been a whirlwind for me. I need a pep talk too!!

[@JoyForney]

#solidarity :) I'll make a video that will help all of us get back on track!! Thanks for the encouragement!

[@jaecamillerose]

Me too!! ☺️

[@Tlrunde]

Rachel Zillmann me too! Me too! I am in desperate need of a pep talk! I struggle with staying consistent and not sneaking the cookies my daughters have been baking this summer and have not worked out in at least two weeks... I get so down on myself:(

[@JoyForney]

Girl!!! We are gonna have a pep talk all together! And listen, there is grace for all of us!! Sometimes just hanging in there is the best thing!!

[@frugaled5187]

I ❤ Coke Zero!!!

[@JoyForney]

Whoop Whoop!!! :)

[@pdoyle3774]

We ate a lot of beans and rice when our children were growing up, but my husband always had digestive issues with beans and I've found since I got into my 40's that I can no longer tolerate beans - even if they've been soaked for days as my friend does, I get stomach cramps these days, so no more beans and rice for us!!

[@JoyForney]

Sorry to hear that! I hope you have found a good alternative that doesn't hurt your stomach?! Thanks for commenting!

[@stefaniemedina14]

Good for you for getting back into healthy eating. Since having our second baby last March I have lost 50 lbs. Like you, I don't believe in dieting, just healthy eating, portion control, and exercise. Does the magnesium upset your stomach? We use a magnesium spray on the skin.

[@JoyForney]

Well done you!! That's must have taken a lot of focus to stay on track for that kind of weight loss!! The magnesium doesn't upset my stomach at all, but I hear that it can if you use too much. I just use about a TBS per day.

[@krystalking1637]

Do you think that it is biblically ok to not eat meat? I stopped eating meat and animal products but I value your opinion so I would like your input.

[@JoyForney]

I actually don't see anything biblically wrong with not eating meat as long as you don't make it an idol....I mean like if you are so obsessed with being vegetarian or vegan that it consumes your thoughts. :) I personally eat very little meat and the majority of our meals are vegetarian and even vegan. Hope that helps! Bless you!

[@krystalking1637]

Joy Forney thank you for your response. I don’t think I ever told you but your video that stated that I am enough really started a positive change in my life. Thank you

[@JoyForney]

Oh my goodness I am SO glad!!

[@krystalking1637]

Pamella Watt Yes I know it is allowed. I was wondering if it was wrong to not eat meat. Thanks tho 😀

[@MommaSchmoozeReviews]

don't worry I like coke zero once in a while too, even though we know blah blah blah ...lol

[@JoyForney]

PHEW! Glad I'm not the only one! :)
