Brown a pound of ground beef with your favorite seasons.
In baking dish put a layer of tater tots, then take a can of french style green beans (all liquid removed) and layer over top of tots, then burger and top with cream of mushroom soup diluted with milk so its thin enough and creamy. Bake until tator tots cooked.

Try the cream of mushroom soup......sm
in the mac and cheese and stir in a can of tuna. Very yummy! I haven't tried the chicken or celery cream soups but they sound good, too.
Got an cheese and cream of whatever soup
when you first said rice I was thinking white, but this may work anyway.
A few of us posted not too long ago that we have similar recipes with slight variations for a mac and cheese/tuna recipe -- simple, you just make the boxed macaroni and cheese as usual and add the cream of (I use chicken, could be celery, mushroom, whatever) and flake the tuna with a fork and add . . . could work with rice also, you just wouldn't have that lovely powdered cheese mix and would have to make your own cheese sauce.
I have also made tuna patties before with canned tuna (like salmon patties). I like the salmon patties better, but the tuna patties were certainly edible (anything fried is pretty much edible, right?), and have the rice as a side dish.
Add a can of cream of mushroom soup.......... sm
to that tuna mac and you'll think you've died and gone to heaven!

Toys for Tots

Hamburger soup and sausage soup
Pretend you're making vegetable soup. Throw in whatever you want for veggies (corn, green beans, carrots, onions, potatoes), a can of tomatoes or tomato juice. Add 1 pound of browned, drained hamburger and beef broth in place of water.
For the sausage soup, brown a pound of sliced SMOKED sausage, add some water and scrap the bottom of the pan. Add your veggies and chicken or vegetable broth (the harder it's smoked, the better).
I usually use frozen mixed veggies and just add a few potatoes if I feel like it or if I'm in a hurry and simmer for 30 minutes.
I make large batches and freeze all but enough for a meal. You can season with your favorite seasons. I usually use garlic and pepper and a bit of cumin to make them smokier.

yam cream is a natural progesterone cream--sm
I believe you can get it in most drug stores, health food stores, and on line. check on line, as you may find a better quality at a cheaper price. It works well.
Chocolate cream pie, whipped cream & chocolate shavings on it!
PLUS:
Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream.
Pumpkin pie with a 2:1 ratio of whipped cream to pie.
A root beer float.
Chocolate chip cookies, or else soft, iced molasses ones - warm from the oven, of course!
And for dessert, a few chocolate Easter bunnies and a dark chocolate Hershey bar with almonds.
Any Burger King commercial. That king is just creepy. nm

Beans, beans, beans
Beans taste really good with cheese and picante, and there are so many spices and spice packets, bouillon cubes are great too. Stock up on salt and spices!
Dried Beans
I always used to use those for bean soup for our family reunion. About 10 years ago, I made it and the beans were still crunchy! First time I had that problem. I had to throw it all out (20 quarts) and start all over again, yet only had 1 day until the reunion, ran out and bought canned beans. Worked. Now I use canned beans instead.
Never knew what happened, but I'd rather use dried beans because of the cost and shelf life.
speaking of coffee -- beans that is,
does anyone dip their c. beans in baking chocolate for snacks? I heard you can do this, but wondered if they are real hard, too strong or just plain tasty this way???
Ham, mac & cheese, and bakekd beans here.

Well I was just kidding about chewing on the beans!
But I am very happy that you found something strong enough - I guess espresso should do it. I have only had espresso once myself and it was bitter, but I understand that making it correctly is a kind of an art form.
I don't think I have had Cuban coffee, but I'll sure keep my eyes peeled for it. I love to try new things.
I buy Dunkin Donuts Beans in their store....or...sm
Sometimes I go to the grocery store and buy Colombian beans (I love Colombian coffee, among many others) to grind - Brothers brand is really good, believe it or not.
Also, in Dunkin Donuts while you're buying a nice cup of their coffee, they sell beans, their beans - and they had a sale - buy 1 pound, get the next one like half price.....I cannot remember, as it was a couple of months ago...but I bought 2 pounds and still have one in the fridge to grind.
I NEVER grind in the store. I have a little $30 grinder I picked up somewhere - Target? Wal-Mart? Can't remember that either.....but I grind a container full (like a week's worth) at one time. You can do more or less - it's personal choice there, or you can grind daily - it's that simple a thing.
But I'll tell you the truth - no matter that I'm grinding Dunkin Donuts beans - it NEVER tastes as good as buying it at their store... I don't know what it is - I use Half N Half (like they do) and it still pales in comparison to the ready-made Dunkin Donuts coffee in their store...
could just be a psychological thing here going on in my head about that.........*lol*
Happy Java hunting :)

This is a great beanice dish:
rice
beans (any kind)
onions (chopped small)
olives
turmeric
spices
Fry a little in olive oil or canola oil, then cook in water, 1:2, or 1:1/2, depending on kind of rice.
You can substitute beans with lentils or chickpeas, or put all 3 together....
Beans for supper...sounds like an experiment in our house. nm

Truffles, the other day you suggested chewing on coffee beans but
I think I found what I really need today and I had some Cuban coffee at a little shop up the street. I am in total love! The guy wanted to know if I knew what it was before I bought and told him drank some in a smaller cup in Santo Domingo, did not think it would be any stronger and goody for me, just hit the spot. The guy suggested my getting an expresso maker and might just do. I did not get around to chewing on the beans, though.
The Soup
For any of you who don't watch this show you should. It's one of the funniest shows. I just pulled myself up off the floor from laughing so hard....
Guy goes to the ER (think his girlfriend and he had a fight and she injured his foot). Needless to say this guy is not one of the brightest on the blocks, but here's the conversation (he's filling out the questionnaire) in the triage area.
Mariital Status: Guy says "martial status?" - nurse says "marital status". Guy says "definitely single"
Guy says "Mode of transportation?". Nurse says "how did you get here". Guy says (I think to the person who brought him in). "Was it a chevy or a ford".
AHAAAAA HA HA HA 
Eye round roast, potatos, yams, corn, and string beans.
Taking advantage of the cool weather and using the oven.
For my squash soup (sm)
I'm sorry this is going to sound not professional, but I cook by taste.
I take 3-4 pounds of acorn squash, pumpkin, etc., whatever squash I have around. (I have been known to use a sweet potato as well.) Roast them up for an hour or until you can gut them. Put the seeds in the oven to roast for whoever eats roasted seeds. :)
Puree those up until smooth. Then you want about 3-4 cups chicken broth or bouillon to thin it out to your preferred thickness.
In the meantime, I've been cooking up about 7 slices of bacon more or less or maybe a few slices of canadian bacon, whatever you have on hand. When those are all crisped up and some grease drained(and I cut my bacon up precooking), throw in a finely chopped onion with a little bit of salt and sweat them until translucent.
When that's done, throw the bacon and onion into the soup. Salt and pepper (freshly ground, please!) to taste. Your final herb is sage. If you have fresh, go with around 4 teaspoons. If you have dried like my un-green thumb has, use around 1-1/4 teaspoon dried. Throw that in, stir it in, and make a big decision whether you want the soup completely smooth or if you're lazy like me and don't mind the chunks of onion and bacon.
Heat to serving temperature and eat. It's a simple soup and really pretty healthy. It also freezes exceptionally well. I could eat it for every meal.
Hope that was okay--sometimes I'm clear as mud.
soup/zupatta
That soup sounds delicious! Not professional!??!! Are you kidding? ...Your MA and grandma did everything with a pinch of this or a dash of that....I copied your recipe and plan to make it (probably not as well as you do though).
Waste not, want not....I'm glad to see somebody putting up food/canning/freezing....been doing it for years.....
Lived in a very rural area (gravel roads) where it was a 17 mile one-way trip to the grocery store......If anyone needed bread, butter, meat, veggies or anything else, they could come stop by and get it out of my deep freezer and visa versa. We all helped each other out. It used to be called community....
chicken soup does!
and if you make it thicker and put a pie crust lid on it you can make home-made (much healthier in my book) pot pies easily. i would just advise rice instead of pasta...the pasta can lose its texture during thawing sometimes. a beef roast with potatoes and all freezes well too. I usually make a double batch of both of these and put one in the freezer. Same with lasagne. :)
chicken soup
Good ol' "Jewish penicillin" - chicken soup. Use leftover chicken or steamed chicken thighs or breasts if no leftovers are available. Use Swansons natural chicken broth (no sodium) but can use bullion, but it contains a lot of sodium. Use about a quart or more of natural chicken broth. I like to use baby carrots whole, but can certainly use sliced carrots. Season with lots of minced garlic and a little dill weed (maybe a teaspoon). I slice in a couple of things of celery or sliced celery hearts with leaves. I sometimes add noodles, or rice, sometimes I use a package of frozen mixed vegetables which are really terrific, depending on what I have available and what type of soup my family wants. Add some white pepper, not black pepper. Simmer until carrots and celery are soft. If using pasta or rice, add that last, otherwise it soaks up too much broth and gets soggy. My family would eat this even if they were sick and nothing else appealed to them, that is why I call it "Jewish penicillin." This is a Jewish mama's recipe. Enjoy - it is so simple and so delicious not to mention nutritious and healthy. Note: Never let your chicken leftovers go to waste - make a pot of chicken soup!
tuna and soup
I use to make it like that but added mac and cheese to it. My children loved it.
I liked the green guy the way he used to be
I don't like him now. I can barely understand him. I really hated that commercial recently as I was shopping for car insurance. I walked into an agency and asked if they could save me money on car insurance (green man popped into my head although it wasn't a Geico agency). They did. I was paying $1500 per 6 months with my old one (again, not Geico) and with the new one I am paying like $700. Boy, I was a happy camper. I called my MIL and said I have got good news, we are going to save over 50% in car insurance. Again, that green man popped into my head.

Has anyone ever tried the cabbage soup diet and if so
did you stay on it longer than a week, what sort of weight did you lose, tell me how you varied the soup, did you use herbs, etc. to change the taste, etc. Oh before being flamed for the staying on more than a week, know it says to stay on only a week but others probably did not go along with this. Thanks everyone!
Cabbage soup diet
I first read about this diet about 35 years ago, as it was published in a popular womans' magazine. So, it has been around a long time. I tried it for a week, lost 5 pounds, gained back the weight as soon as I started eating regular food again. I decided that it is a good side dish as part of a well-balanced reducing diet. But, it can never work as the only food that I eat on a daily basis. For one thing, I have to have sufficient protein or my diet doesn't last long. And what I really want is a plan for life that will help me maintain a good weight once I reach it, without feeling deprived. I find that canned tuna fish is a good "diet" food because of being low in fat and pretty high in protein and convenient. Any fish is good as far as that goes.
The soup will simmer until dinner so
hopefully they will soften up by then. Thanks! I also freeze bananas as well. I was so glad when I heard about that tip.
I love the soup with Joel
and Lou!!
Bakes potato soup
I like to make baked potato soup. Bake 3 large potatoes or 4-5 small ones. Cut them in half, cool slightly, then scoop out the middle. While they are baking I takes some time to heat up some chicken stock with a bay leaf, garlic, black pepper, a little time. Sometimes I use boulion (sp?) if I don't have stock. Add potatoes to this. Heat to boil. Puree if you want or leave chunky. Add milk and cornstarch if you like it thicker or sometimes I use potato buds to thicken it. The amount of milk/chicken stock, etc. depends on how much fat you want. I used to use almost full milk or heavy cream but not any more. I just use enough to make it creamy now. Put in bowls and top with cheddar cheese and bacon. Sour cream doesn't work well. Really easy and quick (can "bake" the potatoes in the microwave if you want). I find that kids love it if you call it cheese and bacon soup. lol Usually for the bacon, I don't cook a new package but instead when I cook bacon for breakfast, etc. I save 2 or 3 pieces in the freezer each time. Then when I want some for soup, green beans, or salads it is available.
Mexican Chicken soup
Ingredients
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium rib celery, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
6 cups chicken broth, low-sodium canned
1/4 cup canned green chiles
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can posole, drained or frozen corn kernels
4 canned whole peeled tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup cooked skinless shredded chicken breast (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic, chili powder, and cumin, and cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, bring to a boil, reduce the heat slightly, and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Add the green chiles, posole, tomatoes, and oregano and cook for another 5 minutes.
Pull the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chicken, cilantro leaves, and lime juice. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
I normally buy 2 of the already roasted chickens at the store (Wal-mart) and eat most of one chicken for dinner and then use the leftovers as well as the next chicken for the soup, I know that is more chicken than what is called for, but it just really makes for a wonderful soup. I don't always have cilantro on hand so I usually leave that out. Also, for the whole tomatoes, I usually use a large can of crushed tomatoes. Sometimes the soup is a little to thin so I might throw in a handful of instant rice. My family can't get enough of it.
looks like an old fashion soup line to me

Green olives here too!
What's really, really good is a cheeseburger with grilled onions, tomato, and green olives on it.
I could eat that every day. :-)
Ha! I got to see a green snake
in my yard once. It was the kind that climbs, and was in an azalea bush. I had no idea we had green snakes here in NC until I saw that one.
