Anywho...
I thought I would share my contributions here.
Greek Penne - While cooking pasta, wash, drain and tear spinach into pieces. Mix with chopped tomato, crumbled feta, kalamata olives and torn mint or basil leaves. When pasta is done, toss with spinach mixture, and coat with 1 t. balsamic vinegar and 2 T. olive oil. S & P to taste.
Ranch bean - Fry 1 lb. ground beef (or leave out for vegetarian) and 1 onion in a little bit of olive oil. Add one 32 oz. can baked beans, one 16 oz. can each kidney and butter beans, drained. Stir in 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 Tbsp. vinegar and 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard. Cook over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Vegetable Lo Mein - Cook 1lb. spaghetti. While pasta is cooking, stir fry in a little olive oil vegetables of choice (we like onion, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, broccoli...) and add 1 - 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp. ground ginger and 1-2 cloves minced garlic. When vegetables are tender crisp, mix 1 tbsp. corn starch with a little water and add to the veggie mixture to thicken. Drain noodles and then add to vegetable mixture and toss. Add more soy sauce (to taste) before serving.
Mexican Roll-Ups - Spread 1 corn or flour tortilla with 1 tsp bean dip, 1 tsp salsa, and 1 tsp grated cheese. Heat in microwave for about 45 seconds or until cheese melts. Roll and eat.
Tomato and White Bean Soup -2 16-ounce cans great northern beans - drained and rinsed
2 14 ounce cans stewed tomatoes
2 scallions, green parts only, chopped
a few sprigs of parsley
Puree in food processor until smooth all ingredients but one can of beans. Transfer to a saucepan and heat until warm.
Anything you would like to add? I am always looking for quick, easy (and cheap!) meals.
