Tomato Juice & Veggie Juice - What do I do with it?
BabyOwen427 wrote: WIC has started giving me tomato and vegetable juice and I have no idea what to do with them. They are the big 46 oz cans. Do you drink the stuff? Can you cook with it? I've never bought veggie juice so I am at a loss on what to do. Any ideas? Right now I have four cans, but I am sure I will get two more next month and so on. Help they're piling up in my cubbord

moped replied: Maybe Owen would like it
cameragirl21 replied: i LOVE tomato juice and V8 but the thing is that they both have a LOT of sodium and i HATE for things to taste salty so i usually by the low sodium (which i realize is not an option for you) but if you don't mind the salt they are both very good and VERY healthy.
as for cooking with them, idk about that but i suppose you could maybe add them to salad dressing or soup for flavor....

WIC is a goverment program for Women, Infants, and Children to get healthy food. I think it is a USA only thing.
I don't know if Owen would drink it. He might, but if he doesn't then I'll have this open juice I'll have to do something with. I'd hate to waste it.
MyBlueEyedBabies replied: I will bake chicken with V8. super yummy
BabyOwen427 replied:
How do you do that? It sounds good.
MyBlueEyedBabies replied: just set the chicken in a pan with the v8 and while it is baking I will occasionally open the oven and baste it. I am all for fairly basic cooking 
kit_kats_mom replied: you can also make lentils with it. Saute up some onions, toss in a bag of dried lentils and some V8 or Tomato Juice. Then bake it. Add some cheese on top and it's a yummy side dish. There are more specific recipies online
luvmykids replied:
I forgot about lentils...I make a soup with a tomato base, I bet it would be great with V-8. I just cook them as directed with onions, add some Italian sausage. Lentils are super high in protein too 
Calimama replied: DH drinks it.. I can't stand it. I feel like I'm drinking soup.

CantWait replied: I drink it, sometimes I make virgin ceasers with it (pepper, and hot sauce - the war....sauce I can't spell that word).
I like the cabage roll idea.
