When I got there the cupboard was bare....

Old Martita went to the cupboard
to fetch herself some grub
but when she got there
the cupboard was bare
but she decided NOT to "have none"

Can you believe it???? I didn't even find a bone (I am feeling Old Mother Hubbard) ... but I am refusing to have none ... so I am playing my own nursery rhyme out... let me start again

Old Martita went to the cupboard
to fetch herself some grub
but when she got there
the cupboard was bare
but heck I decided NOT to "have none"

Since DH is infirmed the cupboard is bare
no food shopping was done
the only thing I could fetch was black kidney beans in a can
some ground Parmesan cheese, sazon for condiment
and butter flavored Pam

I went in the fridge there is very little in there
two sticks of string cheese and fresh cilantro and salsa
otherwise it too was bare...
I opened the freezer and sitting there
is a frozen salmon steak God only knows
how long it has it been sitting there

I fired up the stove and sprayed the skillet
sauteed the salmon and broke it up with a fork
sprinkled sazon, salsa and added cilantro
and over it poured the can of black beans
brought it up to a steam and
sprinkled in Parmesan and over it
I placed the unstrung cheese

I just sat and had a bite
of this most humble meal
it is finger licking good I may add
and now I know what breakfast, lunch and dinner will be...

When life comes at you fast...
and you think you are at wits end...
when you look and think you reserves are dry
and your cupboard like mother Hubbard is bare
and all you have is a can of black beans

Take a look around you
there are tons of blessing to spare
take a little bit of this and a little bit of that
because after all
before Isaac dies .... God WILL provide...
and if He can feed the sparrow I know He will feed me too .. with a Word

I can't believe I made that up ... woot woot ... hold up ... I need to cut a little shout and dance (lol) but this concoction is FINGER LICKING GOOD .... BEAUCOUP PROTEIN... LOW CAL ... and it was done in a lickety split....

NOW GET OFF THE SOAPBOX MARTITA AND GET TO GROCERY SHOPPING ... YOU KNOW GOOD AND WELL YOU PUT IT OFF BECAUSE YOU HATE BRINGING THE STUFF IN THE HOUSE AND PUTTING IT AWAY .... NOW IF THE KIDS AND DH WEREN'T AWAY I WOULD NOT BE HAVING THAT PROBLEM BECAUSE I WOULD DELEGATE ...

That is creative cooking and sounds delicious.  I've got a can of black beans and some fish...   hmmn. 

  You rock!
