1/4 Tsp.  ground chipotle pepper
1  Tsp.  ground white pepper
1  Tbsp.   oregano
1  Pinch cinnamon
Salt and Pepper

- Mix your dry spices (cumin, cayenne pepper, chipotle pepper, ground while pepper, oregano, and cinnamon) and set aside.
- Clean and cut portabellas into roughly 1/4″ cubes.
- Chop and keep separate bell peppers and onions.
- Mince garlic
- Drain and rinse black beans

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add a small amount of vegetable or olive oil (2-3 Tbsp). Add garlic, onions and bell peppers and saute until the onions are translucent. Add some salt and fresh ground black pepper for flavor (1/8 – 1/4 Tsp.). Stir in salsa verde and let it come to temperature. Add portabellas and dry seasoning mix that you set aside earlier. Cook mushrooms until they give up their liquid. Add in corn and cook until warm. Add in beans and mix them in thoroughly. Stir in tomato sauce. Bring to a slow boil, cover, reduce heat to low and let simmer for an hour.

I’ve put up a grocery list online with my best estimates for what we’ll need for each meal. There are sections for breakfast, snacks, and beverages that need some filling in since I don’t know what everybody likes. Please let me know if you want any changes to the meals. I’ve already gotten two nays on PB&J Wednesday, so we’ve got some negotiating to do. I deviated from Alison’s meal plan a little bit because I was trying to take spoilage into account and biscuits go with sausage gravy, not toast.
