On feeding the tuna to a kitty, it actually will probably go to some food insecure friends. I do keep some dried and canned beans in the cupboard for cheap meals.Ramen Noodle Nationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08585445968105871227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-185881030087155227.post-79167237489436752202012-02-26T19:31:27.196-08:002012-02-26T19:31:27.196-08:00Keep the macaroni, throw out the cheese, and use t...Keep the macaroni, throw out the cheese, and use the spaghetti sauce. Cook the rice and put the beef stew on top of it. Use the applesauce instead of milk on the raison bran. Feed the tuna to a hungry kitty. I really hate canned corn so it's hard for me to think of anything other than disguise it in the beef stew.<br /><br />If you get any cash, buy a variety of dried beans and lentils mostly - maybe rice too. With just a little onion, carrot, celery, tomato, garlic, (any combination) softened in a little cooking oil, you can mix them with the beans after they're cooked and make a tasty meal that is really inexpensive. Add salt! If you can, get a little salt pork or ham to fry up, or shred some chicken into it instead. If you can get any greens like chard, escarole, kale, cabbage, those make really healthy additions.<br /><br />Good luck.Gail Zawackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800944469843206253noreply@blogger.com
