Do you have meat shortages where you live? Is meat the new toilet paper?

Local grocery stores in Massachusetts have made packages of meat smaller,and they are limiting meat to two packages per customer.

SO...I would like to make this post all about MEATLESS PROTEIN!!!

For example, did you know that beans...(like pinto beans, navy beans, etc.), and HOMINY (leached corn), when eaten together, form a complete protein?

Please post your favorite meatless meals here.

Too much corn robs you of vitamins unless you turn it into hominy first.

Rice and beans dies the same thing but without the need to pretreat.

@MethDozer Did NOT know that! Thanks for the info! So it's HOMINY and beans...

@4meAndyou I found that out years ago.. I forget the mechanism but corn has certain B Vitamins in it but our bodies can't use then in the form they are in. So our metabolic process and enzymes take that form in, but it can't be used but by doing so it displaces the absorption rate of the useable form from other foods. When its treated with lye it and made into grits the vitamins are able to absorbed and used.

I might not have it exactly eight but works something close to that. Its been a while since I learned this so a little rusty on exactly how it works.

@MethDozer SUPER valuable info! We don't want to leach vitamins away from pregnant mothers...and B vitamins...essential! I am going to edit my post.
