CAN-asta!

Canned goods should be staples in every kitchen.  They will be your saving grace in the event of an emergency and your power goes out.  As long as you have a manual can opener/sharp knife and some canned goods, you will be able to eat.  But, canned goods are really great for quick and inexpensive meals that have nutritional value. For example, this whole meal only has 8 ingredients and takes only 15 minutes to make.

Ingredients:

1 can of salmon (drained)
1 medium sized egg
1/4 small white onion
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
1 can of sweet peas (drained)
2 pats of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter 
1 can of Glory Foods butter beans
Vegetable oil

Directions:

Salmon croquettes

1.  Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2.  In a medium bowl, mix together salmon, egg, onion, and pepper with a fork.  This will have to break up some of the small/soft bones.
3.  Form the mixture into tangerine sized balls and then flatten into a patty shape
4.  Place in the skillet and fry until you see a dark ring formed along the edges.  Reduce heat to medium, flip the croquettes over and cook until brown on both sides.

Sweet Peas

1. Put peas in a small bowl with two pats of butter
2. Warm in the microwave for 2 minutes
