Wow!! Lots of great ideas! I'm definitely going to use a bunch of them. I think I'll start off with having a bag of frozen salmon or other fish that you can bake without thawing. Also, something I forgot to mention... Perdue has those boxes of grilled chicken strips that are precooked which are great to use for fajitas. I think I will also get one of those frozen meals to keep on hand as well.
Does anyone have a good rice & beans recipe? I always have rice, canned beans and seasonings on hand but I can never figure out how to do it right. I have some good friends from Puerto Rico who make the most DELICIOUS rice & beans and somehow mine never turns out the same as theirs!![]()
Saute down your onions and bellpeppers, ( I buy the stuff prechopped) add some sliced sausages or ham chunks (red beans is sausagees - white is ham) then add cans of beans and season to taste. I might have to do this tonight!
