Rice, Brown Beans and a Can of Soup

How many meals do you think you could make using only the food you have in your house? If you were really prepared, you could probably go for weeks. However, if you had known for months that you would be moving, you would probably have "eaten away" at your stocks of food in the basement or the pantry, so there wouldn't be so much left to choose from.

In fact, when you started using up your food supplies, you probably would go for the tastier stuff first, like applesauce and chili, leaving things like kidney beans and macaroni noodles until the end. When you finally had less than two weeks to go, you would really have to buckle down and eat the food left in your house, whatever it was. This lends to strange combinations.

We are doing our best to find meals that have lots of the following:
- instant mashed potatoes
- cream of mushroom soup
- rice
- maple-syrup-flavoured brown beans
- apple cider
- crisco
- kidney beans
- frozen spring rolls

If any of you have any great recipe suggestions for these ingredients, please let us know. In the mean time, we'll be using the blender a lot to make "nutrition shakes" that taste strongly of beans.
