Two Dollar Dinner & Breakfast

     Nope - it ain't pizza - you single men.  Gross!  You can't get a pizza for two dollars.  I opened a can of  black beans for dinner.  Added a can of diced tomato with green chili's.  I sprinkled some basil, cumin, rosemary in and a clove of chopped garlic.  Then used my corn chips as a spoon.  Mmmmm yummy.  Couldn't eat it all in one sitting so hoped it wouldn't spoil during the night.  It didn't so w a l l a.....there was breakfast ready and waiting for me when I woke.  Not hungry when I wake but didn't want to give it time to spoil so had an early breakfast.  Rinsed well and added some left over fresh spinach that was trying to sog, to my tomato/bean concoction and ate up with my corn chip spoons.  Still yummy and not unhealthy.  The corn chips are some what fattening but have some health benefits too like omega 6 fatty acids along with some important minerals.  Limit yourself to a handful.  You have two healthy meals for less than two dollars.
