I feel badly about my first impression. I thought OP was a man.

Op back. The rice and beans were amazing, by the way and very filling.

Thanks for asking I just didnt havevtime to go to the store today. Had to rush to pick up DS from daycare and he had a major meltdown on the way home as he was really hungry. As soon as we got home around 7pm, a little later than usual due to the rain,the raid on the pantry began.

OP, may I ask if you just didn't go shopping or if you don't have money to buy food.

Thanks to all the pps! Y'all are awesome. I decided to go with the rice withe beans on top. Rice is done and im warming the beans now. Im going to add some spices as pp suggested and then top with cheese and tomatos. Thanks to all for all of the great ideas!!

Thanks pp ...we actually do have some bread and tortillas on hand.

What would I put in the burrito? Rice beans and cheese?

Tortillas change everything! Bean and rice tortillas with cheese and tomatoes. Sounds great, and is one of my DS's favorites.

you are probably done with dinner now, but fyi my toddlers love scrambled eggs mixed together with rice and black beans. for me i would have added chopped cherry tomatoes on top - could sprinkle cheese on it, too.

This sounds yummy. Thanks pp. The rice is almost done do I just empty the csn of beans into pot of rice or should I warm the beans in a separate pot/ container and then mix?

Whoops nvrmd I see 19:24 just answered my question.

Thanks 19:24 that sounds delish!

If the beans are canned, I would do beans and rice with chopped cherry tomatoes on top. Maybe a cracker medley if that doesn't go over; hummus, cheese, cream cheese on crackers, maybe a tomato half on top of each.

Heat the beans with olive oil and spices (cumin, garlic, corriader, oregano-- whatever spices you have. Serve over rice garnished with some shredded cheese and chopped up cherry tomatoes. Beans and rice are a complete protein and a healthy meal

burritos -- if you have tortillas

We are really low on food and I need to feed myself and toddler.

Things wr have laying around the pantry are spaghetti sauce, cheese, beans, crackers, hummus, cream cheese, popcorn, ketchup, olive oil, butter, plain yogurt, cherry tomatoes and thats about it oh mustard amd mayo too.

Can u suggest a dish that I csn mskd out of these ingredients using the badmati rice as the anchor?
