    I have been using some of the lentil, rice and other recipes from this site. www.hillbillyhousewife.com. It's been fun learning to use this staples that typically are not in traditional cook books. Hope this resource helps.

    I will 2nd the hillbillyhousewife site. I have also used a bunch of her recipes and my family has loved them. We especially love making our own rice mixes. Tons cheaper than buying them in the store--and all from using home food storage! Check it out!

    I just made the peanut butter criss cross cookies in the churches cook book. I used white bean puree in stead of shortening and I used whole wheat flour instead of regular flour. They are a little more crisp but really good.

    Sprouts: When I have sprouts in the house our family enjoys them in egg foo yong. This is not exactly a recipie, quantities of each ingredient are forgiving and dependent on individual taste. I have never tried powdered eggs, and they would probably work.

    2 eggs per person, beaten in a mixing bowl
    1 oz. milk per person (any form as liquid)
    1/3 cup sprouts and/or peas per person
    salt/peper/soy sauce to taste
    1 tsp. butter or margarin

    Add the milk, salt, peper, soy sauce to the eggs and beat. Put the butter in a frying pan and melt on medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and stir the sprouts/peas into the top.

    Turn to finish (about the same as an easy over egg)
