Meal 1:Three Bean Chili, Johnnycakes, Anatto Rice Salad• Heat the chili on the stovetop or microwave. Thin it a little, but be conservative.
• Heat the rice in the microwave, or steam it in a pan with a little oil and a splash of water. Alternately serve it simply at room temp.
• To cook the johnnycakes heat a little oil in a pan. When the oil is hot use a tablespoon to dollop the batter into the pan to form individual pancakes. Lightly flatten the cakes a bit. Turn the heat down some and let the cakes cook on one side. After about 3-4 minutes, flip them and use a spatula to flatten them further to about ¼ inch thick. Allow to cook 4 more minutes. Flip back to the original side and cook another 2 minutes. Serve with or under the chili.
Meal 2: Potato Leek Soup, White Bean Casserole, Whole Wheat Pain d’Epi• Heat the soup on the stovetop.
• Heat the casserole at 350°until just bubbly.
• Warm the bread in the oven.

How about that Johnny Cake recipe?
This recipe is from Vegetarian Planet by Didi Emmons - a cookbook I highly recommend.
2.5c cornmeal
2 c boiling water
1.5t salt
1T butter
3T yogurt or buttermilk
1t baking powder
1t baking soda
Melt the butter in the boiling water and add them to the cornmeal and salt. Stir to a batter and rest 10 minutes. I found I needed to add more water to get my desired consistency, but I 10x-ed the recipe.
Add the butter and yogurt. Next stir in the leaveners and whatever garnishes you like and cook 'em like pancakes!
