Yes I do that all the time, I make a lot of soups that way.

Hello Pointless I´m glad to read you. You remind me my last 7 weeks. I had an accident. I felt down from a bunk bed and all my teeths loosen. I couldn´t eat anything but smoothies. So I tried a vary choice of them. Carrot smoothies, potato smoothies, beans smoothies. Times came when I was so hungry and so frustrated that I couldn´t smash with my teeth, that I took on the blender all what I wanted. As carrots, milk,potatos, butter, cheese, bread, sausages, or fish, tortillas. A friday I made a smooth base of beans with milk and I added a whole taco in it and blended it very well. It was so delicious. I´d like to repeat some of that salty smoothies as soups or pottages. Blessings Pointless... dainy

I am the sort to experiment in the kitchen. I have enough experience that I generally am pretty good at knowing what flavor combinations will work. My boyfriend will wrinkle his nose at the thought of certain things together, but he will then enjoy them. Of course, he doesn't cook, so he really has no idea what goes with what. Hopefully, when you go grocery shopping, you will be able to pick up a lot of veggies and fruit--for paninis, for salads, for roasting. Avoid all of the processed stuff such as Stove Top and head for the bulk bins to stock up on things like lentils, split peas, orzo, barley (good for soups!) and (of course) dried beans. The potatoes will work well if you have some garlic (preferably fresh, but even garlic powder will do) and make smashed potatoes. Also, quartering, tossing with some olive oil and seasonings and roasting makes for some great deliciousness. Potato soup would be a good option, too.

PointlessQuestions I really enjoy garbanzo beans(aka chick peas) and red kidney beans..but I use canned ones and mostly in my salads..I never really boiled my own beans ..can you tell me what kind you boil and how you prepared them? I don't have a food processor..I understand the protein in beans is extrememly healthy especially when you mix several kinds of beans together..

Whenever I have a little of this and a little of that I do this. Right now I have some chicken, perogies, and bacon in the freezer. Also, two packs of frozen mixed veggies, and a thing of yogurt, and some creamiers.

My husband is the coook in the family, and does interesting things, like wrapping cheese stuffed peppers in pillsbury buscuits, or cresents, and putting them in the oven, or something lke that. He also makes these tuna patties with eggs and bread crumbs, and we eat them on buns with tartar sauce. YUMMY!

It's amazing what we can make do with when we have to. I have made up some dishes using hamburger and left overs. I gave them names that sounded like they might have been a real recipe and the people I served them to thought they were really good.

I`m always imagining new dishes because I don`t like to eat the same thing over and over again. Maybe the best dishes I make are those I cook from leftovers. I must mix several ingredients as there is a little of each. Most of the times it is very yummy
