(114,904 posts)I cook meals 5-7 nights a week. What do I cook?
have a few recipes:
Chipotle black beans over rice
soak beans by other the long method or short one. Cook 2 cups of beans in 8 cups of water with a coarsely chopped carrot, and an onion cut in half until very tender. filch out the onion and carrot and discard. whir half the beans and liquid in food processor.. Saute 2 carrots and a large onion finely chopped in a bit of olive oil. Add beans, salt and 2 tbs finely chopped chipotle pepper with a tbs or so of adobe sauce. Serve over cooked rice with a dollop of sour cream, chopped onion and grated sharp cheddar. Serve with a green salad with lime cumin dressing.
Healthy and delicious.
Other meals I rely on that are cheap, healthy and delicious:
Omelets filled with- whatever strikes your fancy. I'm fond of mushroom duxelles flavored with tarragon. Add garlic bread and a green salad
Curried cauliflower, peas and tomatoes over rice
A meatless bolognese pasta sauce. Sure it's not really bolognese but it's delicious- winey and creamy with a bit of nutmeg
Dessert: It's apple time: Apple crisp, apple turnovers, apple tart, baked apple
