Cast Iron Is Best

Do you like garlic bread?

I've mentioned using canned ingredients so far but if it's in your budget, buy fresh and cook it yourself. Protip: a bag of dried beans costs less than a can of beans and it will last you several meals. Not to mention they won't spoil if kept dry. All you gotta do is boil them.

Simple Bean Medley

• Can of any kind of beans (kidney, turtle, chickpeas, or just a can of the mixed beans you can get)
• Oil (use your judgement, I typically bought extra-virgin for this)
• Vinegar and Celery Salt
  1. Rinse and drain your beans of excess water, place in a bowl
  2. Pour oil over the beans, how much is up to you; add a tablespoon of vinegar (or more to taste)
  3. Stir well, you want this simple dressing of oil and acidity to mix as much as you can. When you're satisfied, season with the celery salt and stir it in for that extra flavor.
  4. Eat it.

I still make this recipe all the time. The oil-vinegar dressing is extremely simple and can go on any salad. Watch how much salt you add, because it can ruin the salad.

Bean-Corn Salad

• can of sweet corn
• can of black beans
  1. Wash and rinse your beans, strain the excess water
  2. Strain the corn and combine both ingredients
  3. Eat it.

I made this last fall a lot because of the fiber in the beans. Turtle beans are bland on their own, but the sweetness of the corn (as well as the contrast in textures between both ingredients) made for a simple, delicious side dish.

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

• two to four lean chicken breasts
• flour, salt, pepper
• dry pasta noodles or whatever
  1. Cube and season chicken, frying until cooked through; set aside
  2. Boil water in a pot, use more than you think you need as some of it is going to boil off
  3. Cook your noodles until tender
  4. Add in the chicken and switch to medium-low
  5. Stir in a little bit of flour at a time and make sure to stir out any clumps. Don't add too much flour as you don't want the soup to thicken too much. Watch your pot and check the chicken for tenderness, you want it soft and fall-apart
  6. Eat it.

I made this a few years ago and got three meals out of it. Let me know if the recipe seems off, it was a long time ago and I was baked when I cooked it. Happy cooking, brothers.
