Now, I'm not saying that I'm looking forward to the apocalypse, but when I pull three pantry basics out to make up this healthy meal, I will be smiling….every single time. I thought I would share this simple concept of a meal, as it has given me so much joy and health over the years. I consider it a go-to comfort food, and it is so easy to make.
The story goes back to hard times, and this shows me that even difficult periods in my life have had gifts to offer me. I always do my best to focus on the glass being not just half full, but overflowing. I consider this part of my daily practice of resiliency, which adds quality to my life, as well as preparing me for whatever might come my way…..but I digress! Let's get back to my favorite pantry meal!
The Origin Story
It was a difficult time for me. I had lost my job on the farm suddenly. I was at a local food bank and was offered a package…it was a brown paper bag with a rolled up top and what looked like a letter stapled on the front. "Would you like a Meal to Go?" the lady asked. "Sure!" I answered, not sure what that meant. When I got it home, I carefully tore off the letter and opened it up. There were three items inside. A small baggie of rice, a small jar of salsa and a can of black beans.
