Easy Minestrone

This is the easiest minestrone dish I have ever seen or made. It involves boiling celery, onion, canned tomatoes and diced carrots in stock, then adding easy mac, waiting for that to cook, and finally adding baked beans. This is served with a side of slim noodles fried with leftover onion. This meal great value for calories and delicious.

Nachos and baked beans, aka healthy alternative to Doritoes Pizza

After making pizzas a few days, I had leftover tomatoes, pizza sauce and cheese. I also had a bag of Cool Ranch Doritoes I had been wanting to try and hadn't finished. The natural conclusion? Nachos! This is partly inspired by a recipe of my sister, who likes to cover doritoes with cheese and pasta sauce, then microwave them for a bit. Some chips have submerged with the sauce and cheese and are soft, while others remain crunchy. The baked beans are there to "bulk" everything up and turn an unhealthy snack into a healthy meal. Who said they need to go to Dominoes to get the "Doritoes pizza" experience?
