Soups, soups, soups we eat a lot of soup!
To up the protein, since we have more veggie than meat, I add beans, lentils, barley, wheat berries (Farro Piccolo is my fav to use), depending on who I am cooking for. A nice pot of rice to eat it over and maybe some yeast rolls. I also take some of the soup, thicken it up and turn it into potpies, usually using a basic pancake mix poured on top for the topping.
Fry some sausage and onions (1/2lb and one big onion) til the onions are soft and the sausage has browned some, add a few cans (2 reg sized) of sweet peas, or pork and beans, or tomatoes, season to your liking and serve over rice 🙂
Leftover rice gets added some some eggs and becomes egg and rice.
