Welcome to the Furlough Cookbook, a.k.a. 101 Ways to Eat Beans and Rice



Welcome to our journey through the pantry.

As day 10 of the shutdown continues, my husband and I (like thousands of others) are busy trying to find creative ways to feed our family of four, while spending as little money as possible. Luckily the pantry is stocked for now, but with no pay check in sight as we head into mid-October, we will be eating beans and rice. Maybe, even three times a day. I joke, but I may not be joking for long...

My husband and I have been spending his furloughed time inventing and searching for recipes that are inexpensive or made with basic ingredients. Everyday until the shutdown is over we will share "What We Had for Dinner Last Night." We hope you enjoy the recipes.

If you have any recipe ideas for the furlough or if you make one of ours, please let us know in the comment section!

If you are furloughed let us know what agency you work for (or are not working for, as the case may be at the moment) and how you are coping! Maybe even toss in a little furlough humor if you have any.  We could use that.

Cheers,
Mary and Steve
