OK, this might be totally OT, but how about a thread on recipes using/uses of stockpiled items? The Walgreens fried onion thread made me think of this. I liked the suggestions of using it on salads and other casseroles. I also stocked up on popcorn and made lots of caramel corn and the kids strung it for the birds (if the raccoons don't get it first!) I remember over the summer there was a great deal on Pillsbury refrigerated dough and someone at FW listed all the stuff you could do with it (pizza pockets, littles pies, etc.). I think it might be nice to find out how to jazz up some of the free stockpiled food.

Oh So Simple Cuban Black Bean Stew :P :P

Ingredients (Vegan Recipe here-add meat if you would like):

1 15 oz can Black beans :P
1 1/2 tablespoon Goya Recaito (or use recipe below)
1 bay leaf
Directions:
Pour can into pot and add recaito and bay leaf. Bring to boil and immediately turn heat down to simmer up to an hour on very low heat.

This is very tasty with the recaito, but it does contain MSG, so you can also make your own.

1/2 bell pepper
1/2 yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
1 aji chili (optional sweet chili)
1 Tbsp. cilantro
1/2 tsp salt
