I had planned on writing a blog about my granola bars today, but I've got a sick man in the house so I can't dedicate the time they require. Instead I'm writing about one of my easiest meal plans. This one I've been doing for years and it's especially popular with the kids.
I buy cans of chili beans-not chili just the beans-for those occasions when I'm really pressed for time. In a large skillet saute about 1/3 c of onions in olive oil. As soon as they become soft add two cans of the chili beans and spices like cayenne, paprika, chili powder, onion powder-whatever you think will help the dish along. Once beans are hot spoon over a slice of mixed grain or whole wheat (the beans need a hearty slice) bread and top with shredded cheddar and a dollop of sour cream. Serve with a salad and a side of steamed broccoli or sauteed carrots to complete the meal.
I know it's not very gourmet, but it'll do the job better than hamburger helper.
