Thanks everyone. Shakran, those sound great, but meat is something we generally can't afford unless it is on sale. Then I buy it and freeze them individually to make more meals than 1 or 2. But I will definitely keep the jumbalaya in mind.
Will: Sounds yummy, but I generally munch on apples, bananas, and fresh veggies as a snack already. I need meals that will fill me up and stretch a long way.
Fred: I love grits too and I'm a northerner. Well, born southerner and pulled away at age 5. So I grew up on grits, fried chicken, sweet tea, biscuits and gracy and all those other tasty foods.
However, JJ hates grits so I eat them for breakfast generally. But I hadn't thought of checking organic stores for bulk couscous. I had some from when we lived in Ohio and just ran out last week. I'm on the hunt again.
Mal, sounds delicious. I always thought it was harder to make the dry beans, but sodium is something we need to watch in our diets so I might try that. Make a big pot on Sunday and feed us through Thursday.
Keep them coming, just remember that meat generally isn't an option with prices which is why I use beans as protein. I'm being forced into vegetarianism
