Mine isn’t really a “Meal”, I used to put margarine spread on white bread and sprinkle a tiny bit of cinnamon and sugar on it as a sweet treat growing up.

    Beans and rice are so healthy and cheap, with so many variations. It’s always beans and rice for me.

      Was considering saying the same. What are some of your favorite ways? I like refried if I have them, with cheese and cayenne.

        Just had refried beans (just cumin & salt) today in breakfast burritos (eggs, potatoes, beans, onion, cilantro, cheese, salsa - we only eat once or twice a day on weekends and cook better stuff) and yeah pintos are one of my favorites.

        Channa masala

        Black beans on yellow rice is my kids’ favorite, they love black beans.

        Red beans (cooked from dry with whatever veg we have) and long grain white rice with hot sauce like Tabasco.

        I really like pintos on brown rice with tahini sauce but nobody else in my household likes it.

        Chopped raw sweet onion on all of them.

          Those sounds tasty. I’ll have to try the brown rice with pintos and tahini, i love hummus with heavy tahini. Thanks for sharing!

      A can of chili over some cooked rice, add a little salt and extra hot sauce. This was my broke young adult fancy meal.
