I asked wifey to pls write out some of the meals of her tradition. She can speak to what that tradition is. But the American South is full of traditional world dishes with North American ingredients.

Beans and rice is just about nutritionally complete.
It can sustain you.

In the fall and winter months, it is necessary to make both tea for ferretsheeps and ferretsheep tea.

I grew up in the early 80's in very rural parts of the States.

My mother's parents were subsistence farmers and every summer until I was well into my teens, we would go and work the fields with them.

I also grew up the child of of a preacher and we moved every 9 - 18 months.

Grew up in poverty.

Sprinkle liberally with salt, pepper, red pepper flake and more onion and garlic powder.

Put the lid on your pot and cook on medium-low until tender. If you soaked the beans, an hour to an hour and a half. If you didn't soak the beans, three hours, maybe longer depending on the bean type.
4/-

Sautee the peppers, if you're adding them.

Drain your beans, if you soaked them.

Add the beans to the onion, garlic and peppers paste and stir everything around for a minute, then add enough water to cover the beans by half an inch to an inch.

Make onion paste.

To do that, toss your diced onion in your stock pot, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Stir that together and cook it on medium low for about 20 - 25 minutes.
2/-
Steps:
If you have the time and think about it ahead of time, soak the beans for at least half an hour but the longer the better; up to 6 hours or overnight for some bean varieties. If you don't soak the beans, increase the overall cooktime to 3 hours, maybe longer.

Now more than ever:
If you see someone shoplifting... No you didn't.
yaaay! I hope I can make someone's life a little easier by either helping with a recipe or maybe sparking an idea or something.

I'm also trying to think of stuff I ate growing up that we could feed a table of 5 to 9 people from and still have leftovers. Hopefully time and money savers, y'know?

Sautee your vegetables to brown them a bit but don't cook them all the way, then make rice with the stock and vegetables.

Debone the chicken.

When the rice is done, toss in as much of the deboned chicken as you feel is necessary and reserve any left over for other meals (like enchiladas!)

in and turn the heat back on medium-low. This helps the final dish taste a little better but isn't required if you don't have the time or energy.

Again, if you have the time and energy, reduce the stuck by half to get the flavors deeper and richer. This will take a bit of time, maybe 1 - 2 hrs.
3/-
Put your colander in a large bowl, then scoop the chicken into it (it'll fall apart, so bear that in mind). Let the chicken cool down for eventual deboning.

If you have the time and extra cookware, drain the stock into a backup vessel and wash your pot, then transfer the stock back...
2/-
Put the chicken in the stock pot and fill until there's an inch of water over the chicken.

Add a bit of salt, a bit of pepper and a lot of garlic and onion.

Put a lid on the stock pot, put it on medium low and let it simmer/boil for about 3 hours.
