Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Another dish made by my husband person. I don't normally use the instant or quick cook rice but it is a lot easier for him. (And I don't have to worry about him messing up my beloved Zojirushi cooker.) 1 can Rotel tomatoes with chilis (comes in different degrees of heat) About 1/2 (one half) can water 1 can Minute 5 minute cook brown rice 1 can Bush's black eyed peas, drained Salt to taste Mix all together. Cover with plate or lid or waxed paper. Nuke 5 minutes, let sit another 5. Cost breakdown: Rotel tomatoes on sale 4 cans for $3.00, .75 cents Instant brown rice about .75 cents Can black eye peas on sale 3 cans for $1.00, .34 cents Total 1.84 I'd usually have cooked the beans from dry, making it cheaper, and using regular brown rice but this is going to be a repeat dinner even after I am finally able to do anything around the house other than watch the dust bunnies growing. He served it with Glory Foods canned collard greens (.89 cents) and made an apple cobbler with apples I had frozen for pie last year. Then, miracle of miracles, he cleaned the kitchen. Now that's room service! Choose from over 150,000 hotels in 45,000 destinations on Travel to find your fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 That is some husband that you have Jeanne - sounds like he is worth his weight in gold. I could grow to want one like that - where did you find him? And the Hoppin' John sounds good too... Christie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
