buy cheap prednisone online Soak pinto beans overnight, drain, put in fresh water and cook all day. Make lots for leftovers, but use a big pot and watch that water!

In the evening, drain and set a few cups aside for one meal.

Add a can of tomato something, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and lots of salt to make chili. You can also add hamburger if you want to. We serve with chopped onion and shredded cheese. We have also enjoyed it in bread bowls that we made.

The next day, take the leftovers and smash them. If they are too juicy, run them through the food processor (the blade) and make refried beans to have as nachos with more cheese, onion, lettuce, sour cream.

The next night, have homemade pizza with sauce, any kind of cheese, and anything you can find to put on it, even if it’s just hamburger…or just cheese!

The next night, take the remainder of the smashed, seasoned beans and have burritos.

The next day, take out the beans that were set aside and add something tomatoey (my own word), but don’t make it runny, lots of salt, cumin and make some hush puppies or corn bread. Serve the beans over.

The following day, make up some macaroni. Throw all the leftover beans in with the drained macaroni then add cheese. If it needs thinning, ad a bit of water or tomato something. Wha la! Chilimac! To stretch it, make a bisquick topping and spread it over the whole thing.

  1. I LOVE your site. It is full of wonderful and practical wisdom and insight. I am getting ready to start a Biblically Healthy Living Blog (actually revamp one I already have). I would like it to be a site of eclectic things that have anything to do with healthy lving. Frugality, recipes, natural products, making your own products, weight etc. I am wanting it to be a group site with several contributors. Would you be willing to be a part of this? It is still in the beginning stages, but I’m thinking of having some staple featured writers of various topics… would you be interested in something like this? You could write as little or as often as you’d like. Let me know! 🙂

  2. Thanks for posting such great tips!

  3. I was so excited to see your email invitation to come visit you over here! Thank you SO very much! I plan to add your button to my sidebar when I have time (somewhere in between diaper changes, meals, reading, runny noses etc. :)).
