One of my favorites, from childhood, red beans and cornbread! I can put it in the crockpot and forget it, until time to make the cornbread! Sometimes I fry up sliced onions and potatoes to go wiith it…yum!

Soup ranks pretty high! We ate lots of rice and beans while in Africa, so I don’t cook it as much now… our other budget meal, I’m ashamed to say, is Taco Bell cuisine!
