Post any and all recipes you'd like to share here. Fancy meals, struggle meals, comfort meals, anything. For those who can't subsist on blood, food makes life all the merrier.
One easy recipe I came up with living on a low income is my black bean tomato soup.
You only need one can of black beans, one can of condensed tomato soup, and seasonings. I use a cube of chicken bouillon, along with generous sprinklings of garlic powder and cumin. Obviously you can go with what you feel or what you have on hand.
Just empty the cans into a saucepan together- don't drain the beans or add water for the soup; the liquid from the beans will act as the water. Mix them well with seasonings and heat and stir until everything is well combined, hot, and the flavors are nicely married. Serve with sour cream or crema if it suits you.

"Coming from the Peach State, I'm really picky about peach cobbler," says reviewer AlliePeacock. "This recipe is fantastic!"
"Last summer I also made batches of the filling and then froze it, and had delicious cobbler all winter long," says reviewer Travis Halling.

Gotta say, I've made eggroll in a bowl and it is sooo good!
I really like making orange glazed bacon wrapped scallops.
Used a can of frozen orange juice concentrate, let it thaw in a bowl. Marinate the scallops in it. Put them on skewers wrapped in bacon. Bake at an appropriate temperature and until they are cooked thoroughly.
Eat and enjoy!!
White Wine Risotto with Saffron
This is another traditional dish, my grandmother taught me :) I hope you will enjoy it.
250g rice (Arborio or Vialone)
100g butter
75g grated parmesan
1 litre of stock
1 glass white wine
1 small onion
120mg Saffron
Melt the butter in a pot and brown the small chopped onions in it. Add the rice. Cook it until it looks a bit glassy. Add the white wine and allow the liquid to reduce.
Let the mixture cook a bit then add the stock ladle by ladle, each time allowing the rice to cook that little bit more as the liquid reduces. Don’t forget to stir it now and then.
After 18 to 20 minutes it should be cooked. If the risotto is too dry, just add a little more stock.
In the mean time, mix the saffron with a bit of stock and add it about 5 minutes before the rice is cooked. Stir with a wooden spoon.
When it’s finished, add the grated cheese and the remaining butter. Before you serve it, leave it covered for 5 minutes to rest.
Variations: You can also add shrimps to it or mushrooms.
