Recipes for Dried Beans, Pasta, and Canned Goods from Food Bank

[christlights7]

I haven’t been working for the last six months so I decided to go to food bank. They gave me a whole bunch of stuff which is great but I don’t know how to make any of this stuff. I also need a recipe. I have a whole bunch of lentil dried beans, split green peas, split yellow peas, lentil, navy beans.  and a whole bunch of dried pasta.  they did give me a whole bunch of applesauce and canned vegetables, green beans, corn, and mixed so whatever I can use out of that stuff would be greatly appreciated with a recipe. If I have to go get meat, I will. What kind of recipes can I make with those?

Soup, stew, check out pintrest for recipes.

1 handful of each bean type with something to add flavor is a good filling dish. All the vegetables can be used in many ways. Ask google for canned vegetable recipes. Good luck

There is an app called supercook that you literally add and remove as needed the ingredients you have an hand and it will give you recipes ti make some really good stuff. I get food as I have money to or it has been donated to me.

@burningone thanks so much I’m putting together some meals for us to eat. I appreciate it so much for suggesting the app

Maybe some minestrone soup? I don't know the exact recipe but I'm sure Google does.

I would cook up some pasta. Make a white sauce and then cook veges and add to pasta.

Here's the first page that came up asking for canned vegetable recipes. They'll be delicious

Pea soup

 

[jesusmygod]

For red lentils misir wat is a good dish.
For yellow lentils split pea soup is nice.
For brown beans a baked bean recipe is nice.
If you have a bunch of canned veggies you could mix a couple cans with a can of tomato soup (if you have some ground meat or sausage and onion to fry it will add some nice flavour).
I hope you find work soon!

@jesusmygod thanks so much. I do have a job. And can’t wait to go back. I have been real sick and have had 9 surgeries since November. But I’m doing much better now.

@christlights7 I'm so glad. I'm glad you got a little help from the food bank to stretch things and hope you heal quickly!

Lentil sausage soup. 1 bag of lentils, a pound of smoked sausage, kielbasa or your choice. Boil the beans and about half way thru, add part of an onion and the sausage cut up. I always add chicken broth once it has cooked down.

Or you can use ground hamburger, ground turkey, ground sausage or ground chicken in the soup.

Lentil soup. Lentils, chicken bullion, celery, onion, carrots, garlic and red pepper flakes salt and black pepper to taste. Maybe some rice or small pasta if desired. Look and rinse lentils and cook ingrediants (chop veges) together covered with water until done. About 30 to 45 minutes. You may have to add more water.

you could use pasta and corn to make this. I made it today and it was really good.
