15 bean soup for lunch and flavorful Mac and Cheese for supper

Today was a snowy icy day so decided a few hot comfort foods were in order.

For lunch today I thought a nice soup..

15 bean soup.. of course I soaked the beans the night before.

• bag of 15 bean mix
• onions
• ham * cooked diced*
• 16 ounces of tomatoes diced
• juice of one lemon
• chili powder

Simmered the beans in 2 qts of water for 2 1/2 hours. Add the rest of the ingrediants.  Cook for another 1/2 hour. Serve with a nice crusty bread. Yummy



For supper Flavorful Mac an Cheese

• 7 oz of macaroni
• 8 ounces of process cheese with alittle salsa added
• 1 1/2 cup of cooked ham
• 1 8 oz can of pineapple
• some red and green peppers
• onion chopped

Cook macaroni according to directions. Drain, Stir in  the cheese sauce until combined. Add the remaining ingrediants.. Made a nice spring garden salad with carrots for a veggie... Now I loved it..  hubby thought it was to sweet. If he has pineapple just wants pineapple not mixed *l*
