10 Cheap and Delicious Meals You Can Make with Beans: The Versatile and Nutritious Ingredient for Any Diet - Mental Scoop

 I just had to share this. Beans are such an economical and healthy food that you have got to have it in your stockpile. You can do so much with them and they replace meat. The perfect budget-friendly addition to meals.

 

A Couple of Mug Recipes

 This is a great way to have a quick meal when you do not want to cook a lot. Get a coffee mug and make one of these. 

Omelette in a Mug
To your mug add the following:
 2 eggs
1 tablespoon diced bell pepper
1 tablespoon chopped spinach
1 tablespoon diced ham or cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Whisk eggs, add ingredients, microwave for 2-3 minutes, check with fork.

Mug Mac and Cheese
To your mug add the following:
1/4 cup elbow macaroni
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons shredded cheese

Cook pasta in microwave (about 1-2 minutes), add cheese and milk, microwave for 30 seconds.

An Egg Substitute Just In Time For Fall

 You can swap out the eggs in a cake recipe with Pumpkin Puree. It will come out so moist and delicious. Use a Yellow cake mix and just use 3/4 cup of pumpkin puree with 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice instead of eggs. I just use store bought cream cheese frosting.
