We made this recipe using 2 "cans" worth of black beans from our freezer. The curry powder that the recipe calls for is a nice addition to a typical rice and beans dish. We also liked that the recipe uses brown rice, since it is healthier than white rice (I think). We also used crushed red pepper flakes instead of the fresh red pepper, just because we didn't have a fresh red pepper on hand. All in all, this was a good, simple recipe and we will definitely make it again.
This is a recipe from Cooking Light. We made it because we already had 2/3 pound of browned Italian Sausage in our freezer, and we have basil growing on our deck at home (thanks Mom!) that we wanted to use. We had most of the other ingredients at home, too. In fact, we only had to buy the tomatoes, the ziti, and the mozzarella. It was pretty inexpensive to make, and it was good, but it wasn't amazing. It was a good way for us to use up some extra ingredients that we had siting around our house, though. And it was cheap :)
We're going to be trying out quite a few new recipes this week. E will be the chef, because I will be studying for the bar.
Here are the links to some of the recipes that "Chef E" will be trying out, in case you're looking for some ideas:
