When I ordered my basket this week, I requested a Mexican themed veggie add on. I had a few new recipes I wanted to try out. I was able to get beautiful green tomatillos, cilantro, chiles, and peppers. Pretty much a rock star bunch for the recipes I had in mind this week. I decided to go with a soup first, since we were all craving the warmth soup offers on a chilly, windy day. We paired our soup with some whole wheat bread sticks. You can find the recipe in this weeks menu plan . The soup turned out great and those red heads of mine enjoyed it as well. It is always a plus when the littles gobble it up:)
So make some soup today, snuggle up with those littles, and stay warm.
One-Pot
Spicy Cannellini Soup
1
medium onion chopped
1
cup cannellini white kidney beans*
1
cup pinto beans (cooked)*
1
cup red kidney beans (cooked)*
2
tbl cilantro
4
potatoes, washed and diced
4
cups beef broth**
2
Chile peppers, washed and diced
1
packet of taco seasoning
*
if you do not make your own beans, then substitute 1 can of beans for
each cup of cooked beans. - see how I make beans here)
**
I used beef bouillon cubes and water
Place
all ingredients in your crock-pot. Cook on high 5-6 hours
I
do this first thing in the morning, so I have it hot and ready for
lunch:)

ReplyDeleteYou are so welcome:>
DeleteHello! I just read your Yahoo story and I had to look you up. It was just what I needed this morning. My family has a similar story, our income is the same, we bought an old fixer upper farmhouse on 2 acres 6 years ago with no mortgage, garden, sew, vintage shop, whatever we can do to get by. I have 3 boys, 14, 8, and 3. We live extremely well for people in the poverty level, but sometimes I get discouraged, anyway, and I was feeling it this morning. I know I have a good life, but sometimes I think things like, "I will never get to go anywhere on a vacation again!" There are places I would like to see in my life, but at 42 with 3 kids, it's not looking likely! But anyway, it's great to meet you and know I'm not the only one living the frugal life. I will be reading! Have a super day!

I read about you on Yahoo just now, and I wanted to stop by and let you know what a lovely story it is! I would love to see more people investing in things that matter the way you and your family do. Thanks for blessing me today!
ReplyDeleteyou are so welcome and thank you for sharing such sweet words:>
DeleteI, too, just read the Business Insider article about you on Yahoo and had to check out your blog... and happily came across this delicious-looking soup! We always have dried beans in our pantry and love the flavors of Mexico, so I think I'll try this! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI just read your Yahoo story and I think you and your family are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and I am checking everything out and I love it!! I was just wondering when you go to costco and buy in bulk what do you use to store everything in, like flour, beans, rice etc.? Do you have some large bins, bowls or what?
ReplyDeleteHi there! I use 5 gallon food storage tubs I get at Lowes and Home Depot. I go to Costco once a month and stock up on all my pantry staples.
DeleteHi - I tried to pull up your pantry staple list and for some reason your link is not working. I love your blog - this weekend I'm making my homemade laundry soap.
ReplyDeleteYou can find the link below

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. So happy to have found your blog. More people should be like you! I can't wait to try this recipe!
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog for about a year now. You help me and my wife out so much with everything you put up. We love it!
ReplyDeleteSo it made me so happy, when I opened up yahoo on the browser and saw you and your husband featured on the front page!!
Congrats :)
congrats on your yahoo coverage today!!! Living on a budget is a must whether inside the states or out, We are currently in Ecuador and having to cook many things from scratch due to budget and availability of items! I look forward to trying some of your recipes and using your tips! Thanks so much!! Dana (and Steve) Watkins
ReplyDeleteJust saw your Yahoo article. Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas. With this upcoming sequestration, we will loose 20% of our income until September (fingers still crossed Congress will figure something out by tomorrow night), so any tips I find on better budgeting are great! Thanks, again.
ReplyDeleteJust saw your story on Yahoo as well and wanted to pop in to say hi! Keep up the great work being a mother, wife and inspiration. You and your husband are awesome people, keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteLike everyone else, I found your blog from your story on Yahoo and I am totally inspired! I pinned your blog to pinterest so others will check it out. Everything on here is so helpful! You have an amazing story. Thanks for all the great tips!
ReplyDeleteI read your story on yahoo, then looked up your blog....and here I am. Your story is inspirational I have to say. I'm already taking some of your ideas....I'm now looking for a bread maker too!
ReplyDeleteI discovered your amazing site today and I have a question. You state that you grocery shop once a month. How do you do this when a grocery store changes it sales ads once a week? How do you take advantage of the bogo's or really good sales? I am really impressed and can't wait to start doing this. I have even convinced my husband to sit down with me and help. We already do a budget together and that has helped us tremendously.

I also read your story on Yahoo! and found it simply awe-inspiring. There are a lot of people who take for granted for what they have and complain about what they do/don't have, but you have managed to make it all work and seem greatful for it all. I have a couple of blogs that I read on a daily basis and you are now one of them. I can't wait to try some of your recipes--especially your homemade bread recipes. I'm looking forward to everything else this blog has to offer!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat and healthy recipes! thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks and sounds amazing, I am a soupaholic! Also I bet this is a great leftover.
ReplyDeleteYou all have an awesome family. I am so proud of you! Keep encouraging!
