Tonight I cooked with Elissa. We only had to buy one can of vegetables!
1 large box twisty pasta noodles (provided by Little Brothers)
1 can stir-fry vegetables (provided by Little Brothers)
1 can pasta sauce (leftover)
1 can mixed vegetables
1 bag questionable mexican orange round noodles
2 small yellow onions
spices
We carmelized the onions with spices and added in the vegetables. once they were mixed and heated, we put them in a pot with the sauce. In a separate pot, we boiled the noodles. We were worried that it would not be enough food (even though it is simplicity week) so we added in noodles that came with our house. they were strange (orange wheels) and fell apart but they served our purposes well.
You are becoming quite a cook. Maybe you and your Mom can put out a cook book sometime. Your with plain good food, and your Mom with her gourmet food. Your dishes remind me of some of my concoctions when money was scarce when I was in graduate school. It is surprising what one can do with so little and how you can make it stretch.
