Been to a rural food pantry? Low income seniors and the disabled rely on them to help make ends meet; problem is, Gov. Surplus food has been scarce recently. So what kind of food is being given as a generous donation?! Hamburger Helper, Mac& cheese dinners, salty canned soups, sugar coated cereal and other chemical cocktails mislabled as edible. Yet, the Obama Administration can't figure out why our low income seniors suffer more ailments and require expensive healthcare.
No wonder our economy is tanking: those clowns in Washington DC don't have a clue.

Amen, Cindy! It would be much better to have bags of beans. They aren't glamorous, but they are filled with nutrition. With some onions and garlic for flavoring, they make mighty good eating.

There's also hot water cornbread. That's corn meal, hot water, and salt mixed together. It's about the consistency of pancake batter, but grainier. You stir it until it binds together, then pour about a pancake sized portion into a hot, lightly greased pan. Cook one side until golden, flip it and cook the other side. This is cheap and good with the beans to help complete the amino acids for optimum nutrition.

Speaking of inexpensive nutrition, instead of spending money on beef I like garbanzo beans straight out of the can or mixed with any salad or veg combination. They are filling and satisfying. For a salad combo I add a spoonful of mayo mixed with pepper.

I've been adding beans to many things we eat the past few months because they are so healthy. I did a tomato, cucumber, avocado and garbanzo bean salad last night.

It's really too bad that the healthiest foods, fruits and veggies are so expensive, especially organic ones. Buying foods which are in season is much cheaper than out of season though.
