I like cooking.  I like easy to prepare, tasty and healthy meals.  The Old Soldier is on a meatless-meal kick.  I don’t know how long this meatless kick will last, but I’m going to enjoy it while it does last.  Not that I’m a vegetarian.  I could never be a vegetarian.  But it seems that the less meat you eat the better.

I have several large cans of kidney beans in my apartment.  I bought them to make chilli.  I love spicy chilli.  It goes great with cold beer.  But one day I got lazy and didn’t want to make chilli with ground beef, onions, green peppers, tomato sauce and chilli powder.

I wondered what the kidney beans would taste like by themselves in the liquid that they are canned with.  I emptied a can into the crock pot and four hours later I ate a bowl of kidney beans with just hot sauce.  It was delicious.

So, I’m going to try it again.  But this time I’ll add diced carrots, onions and green peppers.

Food does not have to be complicated to taste good and to be good for you…
