It's the end of the week...you have not been grocery shopping in 6 days...your bank account is empty...what can you eat?
I know that everyone who cooks has had the experience of inventing a meal out of seemingly nothing! While not exactly a recipe, I do usually have some things stashed in the cupboard for just those times. A can of beans, some rice, spices, etc...
The other night was one of those nights...I had a can of black beans, some Mahatma rice, a can of light coconut milk, an orange, a lime and some curry powder along with some other spices (salt, pepper, garlic). I know it sounds strange but I some how mixed them all together into what I would call a "Caribbean Black Bean and Rice Curry". I know it sounds disgusting but it actually was pretty good.
Does anyone else have "recipes" like this or am I the only one who occasionally has to eat glorified dorm room food? I NEVER eat fast food anymore, so I have to get creative on a nightly basis!
