Omlettes are pretty cheap - -also a good way to recycle leftovers
(just some eggs, some filling, and some toast or potatoes on the side)

Red Beans and Rice
2 cups red beans, undrained (dried are much cheaper than canned, but canned are easier)
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
bay leaf
pinch sugar
cayenne pepper, to taste
cooked rice
1/2 lb smoked sausage, I use Keilbasi
Combine all incredient. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer until done. Serve over rice.
Large link smoked sausage, added at the last 30 minutes gives delicious seasoning and makes a complete meal with hot fluffy rice and tossed salad.


Lentil Loaf
1 onion, chopped fine
1 tbsp. oil
2 c. cooked, drained lentils
1/2 c. whole wheat bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. thyme
2 tbsp. whole wheat flour (white flour is fine)
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. water
2 tsp. vinegar
2 tsp. Soy sauce
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Saute onions in oil until transparent and slightly browned. Mix ingredients and place in a greased loaf pan. Bake for 30 minutes, covered, then for 10 minutes, uncovered.
