I like to make soups. Like broccoli, or carrot, or cauliflower, or celery. The basic recipe is brown an onion, cut up a potato, add water or broth, add the cut up veg, add a can of beans. Then puree it with a stick blender. If you use a regular blender, you have to be careful if it's hot, it hops out of the container, don't fill it too full while blending. Anyway then it's creamy and yummy and filling and has protein from the beans.

I will also buy a bunch of sweet potatoes, bake them for one hour plus, then divide them up into 3/4 cup serving (1/2 cup might work too). I do put them into ziploc snack bags. The drug store has generic ziploc bags for cheaper. And I had a box of kasha (buckwheat groats) I cooked with white potatoes, mushrooms, and onions, and I had that with a sweet potato for a very filling dinner!.

I also roasted some small sweet peppers, and put those in bags. I make sandwiches with them. Today I bought some chards and kale, I realized I wasn't really eating any leafy greens, i plan to cook those tomorrow. All this plus some cans of tuna fish and I am pretty much set for the month! Oh - and a lb of spaghetti
Thanks for this!
