| Nothing like the fragrance of rosemary for remembrance filling the house in December. |
I'm not a cheap cook, but I have always looked for inexpensive ways to provide our daily bread. Raising a house full of kids, I often had no choice. Even today, when we're empty nesters with a bit more funds than when the kids were home, I look for ways to save a bit here and there because it's the right thing to do. It's often healthy, too. I buy the best I can find for the least amount of money. If you've ever cooked for a soup kitchen, or worked in a food pantry, you'll know that beans go a long way, are low in calories, and high in fiber. They're filling and versatile. They can also be yummy. Hence this pot of smokey-fragrant "French" beans with lots of
- smoked ham (or pork chop)
- vegetables,
- big flavors of rosemary, thyme, and bay,
- browned chicken thighs, legs, (I like Kadejan chicken from Glenwood, MN) and...
- sausage pieces.
