Lazy Leftover Budget Dinner - Rice, Bean & Veggie Bake

Hi guys!

Hope you're all having a great weekend so far, which ever part of the world you're in :) My humble apologies for the lack of videos lately....I thought I would film something quick & easy to tide you over until my next makeup or beauty video!

It's Saturday night here, and I do NOT feel like cooking. I've also been on an incredibly tight grocery budget lately. I do however have a tonne of leftovers to use up ASAP! My poor, sad veggies are nearing the end of their life span :S Please excuse the poor lighting, it's started getting dark already and the overhead kitchen light is not the best!

Rice, Bean & Veggie Bake
Rice -- any kind. I've used 2 cups of cooked brown rice.
Veggies -- your preference! I had cooked mixed veggies (carrot, corn, broccoli), sliced mushrooms and some snow peas on hand.
Baked beans -- again, just something I happened to have in the pantry. Love baked beans! They're filling and will add some flavour to the bake.
Grated light cheese -- I've been economical tonight, but the more the better!
Don't forget your favourite herbs & spices!
Baked at 200 degrees for 30 minutes.

I would really appreciate your feedback on this type of video!
Xoxo megs

@PensivePenumbra Me too Tina, don't worry!! It's so hard to keep up lately....I love cooking videos too! So much fun to watch. I've been living vicariously through your FB baking photos! Oops, made you hungry :P I'm about have my super-most-lazy-dinner of all time, 6 fish fingers, veggies, wedges...mmmm!

Quick and easy don't usually mean healthy, but you have clearly made something that is all three! I love it and cant wait to try this^.^ Thanks for sharing this!

[Schmeggyroo]

@myprettyhair123 Thank you!!! That is a huge compliment :D I'm always complaining about having to choose either budget friendly or healthy, it never seems to be possible to have both! Good luck trying it out! :) xo
