Dinner Bowl #36
The pantry challenge may be requiring more creativity, but amazingly enough, it's still working! Here we have garlic bread (made from a mini baguette in my freezer), cheesy beans with tomato, some yellow squash, and some multicolored peppers and onions. I had some leftover vegan pizza cheese, and somehow ran across this recipe from Food with Feeling . It's not a vegan recipe, but it gave me the idea of making a tomato-y white bean base (mostly following their directions, but adding some Italian seasoning) to top with my pourable cheese. Having the crusty baguette on hand meant I could have something almost elegant, I figured. It turned out well, and it was really nice to have the bread and beans together. I'd want to have this on an ordinary day, not just when I was only using what's here. The vegetables were some of what I had left that needed eating and seemed like they'd go alongside the beans. They were good, nothing special, but you don't need everything ...
