Tomato and Cabbage Bisque
If you can't find tomato bisque soup, you can use regular condensed tomato soup and add 2 Tbsp. cream to the finished dish.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. butter
1/4 cup tomato sauce
10 oz. can condensed tomato bisque soup
3/4 cup whole milk
1 cup shredded Colby cheese
PREPARATION:
In heavy saucepan, saute cabbage, onion and garlic in olive oil and butter until tender, stirring frequently. Add tomato sauce, condensed soup and milk, stirring well. Cook until hot. Sprinkle with cheese and serve.
If you can't find tomato bisque soup, using ordinary tomato soup along with a splash of cream will work just fine
Brown Bread Sandwiches
You can use almost any sandwich filling for these easy sandwiches. Look for canned brown bread in your supermarket and keep it on hand for emergencies.

3/4 cup chopped dried fruit
1/4 cup chopped nuts
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 can prepared brown bread, cut into 1/4" slices

Skillet Spaghetti
Be sure to stir this dish frequently as the pasta begins to soften, separating the strands carefully with your spoon. Use your own homemade meatballs if you'd like.
INGREDIENTS:
28-oz. jar pasta sauce
1-1/2 cups water
1 lb. frozen fully cooked meatballs
8-9 oz. spaghetti pasta, broken in half
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
PREPARATION:
In 12" skillet, combine spaghetti sauce and water and stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and spaghetti. Stir well, making sure spaghetti is under the sauce, completely covered in it.
If necessary, you can add another 1/4 cup of water.
Bring to a boil again, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently. You may add more water or tomato sauce if the mixture appears to be too dry. Cook until spaghetti is al dente. Serve with cheese.
