Margaret Holmes & Glory canned veggies & stuff

About 2 years ago I wanted to upgrade some of my side dish options. As a general plan my main course is often a portion of grilled or pan seared chicken, steak or seafood and this is where I tend to spend my time and effort for seasoning/preparation. I have no oven or microwave, and my refrigeration space is also limited. As a result, to add a vegetable or similar side dish I often turned to canned goods. I generally found the typical canned offerings pretty plain and uninspiring.

One day I noticed a selection of canned goods from Margaret Holmes & Glory. They offered an interesting variety of offerings that added some nice dimensions and depth to the typical canned beans & corn.

Over time my fav's are several of the many types of "seasoned" beans.

As a quick base for several types of tomato-based dishes, especially with seafood is the canned tomatoes, okra and corn combination.

In a decent sized pot I add some olive oil and cook up some diced onion; then add some canned chicken breast, andouille sausage, canned diced tomato and seasonings. Simmer for a bit, then at the end add shrimp seasoned with Old Bay. When the shrimp are done, served with rice.

Lol, we live in Western Ny and my 82 year old Mother recently moved back here from Florida. We recently made a trip to Florida to visit relatives and my Mom said she used to love that brand of Okra and stewed tomatoes. It is not available here in WNY, so we picked her up 4 cans while we were there. She said the exact same thing, best she ever had from a can.

When we camp, I try hard to bring pre prepared food as much as possible. So much easier to cook at home, with all your gear and conveniences.....especially if you have bad stormy weather while camping.

I recently picked up a 15 qt basier pan with lid. Absolutely love it and can make a LOT of food at 1 time. Also have a vacuum sealer and many times I use it for the Meats. Haven't camped recently but plan to get back into it in a year or two. Life seems to be getting in the way lately. Lol
