My daughter, Heather, suggested I put this compilation together for her, and for you, in order to save time. (Talk about busy—she is having her 3rd baby, all less than 5 years old, in June). The following 15 meals are the ones that I make for our family regularly. Simply add all the ingredients to one pot and cook. This set of recipes is focused on beans because this starchy legume is an easy favorite. My workload is cut even further by having my pantry well stocked with basic ingredients, such as spices, canned tomatoes and beans, dried beans and grains, onions, garlic, potatoes, yams and vegetable broth. Look over the recipes and develop your shopping list. To your one pot meal choice, add a large green salad with a low-fat dressing and/or a loaf of fresh whole grain bread for a delicious, satisfying, very complete, and almost effortless meal. |
