I also changed this drastically to fit what I had on hand, but DH is a super fan of beets, so I want to be able to find this again to make it properly for him! (No matter what, I finally found a way to make red rice edible, so that alone deserves 30 stars.) -
Not rating, because I made too many changes, but if you're on the fence, try this recipe! The fresh beets at the grocery store were sad, so I got a can of beets, which turned out to be severely dented, and hissed (eek!) when I started to open it—so I left out the beets. Also subbed in soup-grade wild rice and Pacific foods broth, chucked everything (including canned beans) in the same pot, sauted the onions before adding them. But, liked it a lot, and I look forward to trying it with beets.

My partner pressed me to put up a web site to share what he experiences as my extremely efficient system for simplifying a big chunk of life. I have two bachelor sons who admit they rely heavily on frozen meals. I hope that some or all of the site will provide a gateway into a mostly plant-based diet for a few people. Then I'll feel like I contributed more than just the reduced footprints of two people in rural Canada. I was already pulling the site together when I saw the 10:10 idea, (www.10:10Global.org) so it seemed like as good a thing as any to hang my program on. I hope they don't mind.
