Cannellini Beans & Tomato Salad 4 cups cannellini beans (2 16 oz cans, drained and rinsed)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 large onion, minced
6 stalks of celery,thinly sliced ( preferable the pale center stalks with leaves)
4 - 5 tomatoes, cubed
Dressing
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon basil or 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chiffonade
Saute onions until translucent then add garlic, saute 2 more minutes. Combine the vegetables in a bowl and mix. Add beans and stir carefully. Combine dressing ingredients and drizzle over salad and mix to coat the vegetables and beans. Or you can cheat like I did and use your favorite vinegrette type dressing.
Serves 4 as a main course.

Make rice or baked potatoes in the crockpot. Home made soups that you can make in a hurry are good too. Make ham salad and egg salad for sandwiches. Recently made a chicken lunchmeat loaf with cooked chicken, seasoned broth, and gelatin that was wonderful. Made a loaf pan full and gave part of it to our daughter. Meatball stew in the pressure cooker. corn on the cob in the crockpot, Lots of ways to do good nourishing meals without lots of work.

I'm bringing dinner over to my inlaw's tonight. It's supposed to be 90° & high humidity & they don't like to turn on their AC. I'm making a crockpot meal- sausage sandwiches- & a big salad. That way I won't have to heat up their house by turning on the oven & they can have a warm meal.

Cucumbers and onions in vinegar and oil.
Wilted lettuce salad with onion & bacon, and bacon drippings in the dressing.
Sit out on the back porch after dinner with watermelon, rinse the porch off with a hose after.
Yum!
