My life as a stay at home mom/ home economist - beans and rice AGAIN!  
INFORMATIVE 

Tags: saving money, raising kids, beans and rice, Dave Ramsey

I'm a stay at home mom, homeschooling my kids, and the wife of an OTR driver; I have to find ways to stretch our money every month because we want to pay off our house in 2 years. My DH is a big fan of Dave Ramsey and his techniques on debt reduction (all we have is our house) and saving money. This is a Dave Ramsey inspired list. Top five rice and beans menus

1.	Baked beans (purchased on sale, in bulk, with a coupon) and rice topped with cheese and served with tortilla chips (including the broken bits)
2.	Canned chili beans mixed with rice served on a corn tortilla with cheese, lettuce, and salsa
3.	Stolen bowl ala KFC: bottom of the bowl cooked (formerly frozen) mixed veggies, middle layer leftover beans from 1 or 2), topped with mashed potatoes and of course, cheese
4.	Chili (homemade or canned) on top of spaghetti, with a serving small red beans, finely chopped onions, and yes, cheese
5.	Soup ala leftovers, add left over beans of any kind, veggies, pototoes to a large pot, cover with water, boil until tender or wilted or unrecognizable as meals 1 -4, add 1-2 crumbled vegetable boullion cubes, let stand 20 minutes (you need this time to assemble a salad and find the cheese!)
