Cream of Anything Soup Mix
My Grandma always kept this cream of anything soup mix in her pantry and, let's face it, every other recipe in the church cookbooks called for a can. As a kid I never understood why she wouldn't just buy a can. As an adult, I get it. Make your dollar stretch AND you control all that goes in it. Adjust to suit your taste but this is the basic recipe that works.

Pad Thai Quinoa Bowl
This pad Thai quinoa bowl recipe uses quinoa, which is gluten free, high in protein and fiber, and has a nice nutty flavor. But you can always substitute rice or noodles. Remove the chicken, add extra edamame, and you have a great vegetarian meal. You can also add shrimp if you like. This recipe is seriously good and versatile!
