It's getting kind of late, but thought maybe someone had a recipe they could share. I'm pinching my pennies this week (who am I kidding - it's been all month!!) and trying to use up things in my cupboards instead of buying more food. The jist of what I have is: rice, beans (red), onions, tomatoes. I have spices and other things like velveeta cheese, cream cheese, etc. Anyone have any idea if there is anything I can make with these items? I googled for a site that could give me recipes based on my items on hand and I didn't really find anything. Isn't there anything that has rice AND beans in it?

Do you have hamburger? -
Red Beans and Rice! You could google for a recipe, but I found this one:
You would just omit the sausage. Still a nice meal. Maybe serve with sliced tomatoes on the side?Comment

Are you in/near GR? In the press today they have a section called "Just Bag It"-about fixing meals for a week from one grocery bag worth of stuff! Not good for this week, but maybe something to look into for the future? I'm thinking it sounds pretty cool and a good way to save money!Comment

YUUMMMM! That won't work for tonight, but I'm definitely going to get the ingredients to try that one soon!Red Beans and Rice! You could google for a recipe, but I found this one:

I'm about 2 hours away from GR, but some of my family live there. Would this article be online? If not I can ask my parents to save it for me. I'm sure I'll be seeing them sometime.

coat the rice in velveeta, add any veggies you want to it, peas, beans etc.Comment

All good ideas!! Here's what I did.
Fried an onion in butter, then added the rice. When that was broken up well, I added diced tomatoes and the beans. When that was all cooked I added Velveeta cheese. It wasn't bad. My dh said it tasted just like the cheese/tomato/salsa dip that I usually make for tortilla chips, only with rice! LOLComment
