I grew up on beans and cornbread! I love to cook a whole chicken in the crock pot. You can get several meals out that.

Thanks for this posting. I agree with you 100% The bean is magical in many ways including saving our weekly grocery budget. We eat a lot of the dishes that you posted about. It kinda made me feel pretty good. Hey I’m doing something right

Baked ziti is a popular dish in our house. I like to throw in leftover veggies or any that need to be used.

Yum! I came from Beauty and Bedlam – I’m going to try your potato soup recipe – much healthier and easier than other versions I’ve tried! And beans are one of my favorites too – it just doesn’t get better than super healthy and super cheap!

Those look really good. I’m betting I can con my new food hater to try the beans and cornbread. He may hate food, but he loves carbs. We’ve nicknamed him carb boy. He will always eat bread in any form.

I’m a big fan of beans, too. Also, spaghetti squash is a big favorite around this house.

Great recipes, all – the healthy version of Potato Soup intrigues me, since I LOVE potato soup and I am forever trying to perfect the balence between “easy on the wallet” and “easy on the waistline.”
