Hominy is a southern, SW American, Mexican cuisine thing. It kind of looks like cooked popcorn, but it's soft and solid inside. By itself, just like grits, it doesn't have much of a taste. It has to be seasoned well. I can't find a decent picture in any of my old ones unfortunately.
We got freebie packages of dried cracked hominy and chickpeas via Craig's medical insurance plan. We got the mashed potato flakes I used to make quick gnocchi the same way. Got some avocado oil I haven't cracked open yet as well. He also gets over the counter medical items as well. He gets a separate allowance for food and medical items each month. I figure we'd use since it's lost if it doesn't get used each month. But, I'm actually running out of things to order already and it's only been 3 months!
I love hominy and will eat it with just some butter in it. Craig is eh about it, he'd rather have potatoes, but it's okay. Craig is not fond of chickpeas much, though I've found a couple of ways he will eat them as long as I start out with dried and cooked at home. So, I decided to cook the whole bag of hominy since it has to be soaked overnight and cooked for a good while until it softens. I'll probably make roasted red bell hummus and maybe make oven roasted crispy spicy chickpeas, plus find something else with the chickpeas eventually.
I'll post pics when we eat the dishes.
) some eggs in order to get a jumpstart on tomorrow. 
. After that, I will come home and make shrimp cocktail and cocktail sauce, deviled eggs, and smoked salmon dip for 12 people to bring to Easter brunch at their house. I might have enough energy to make some sugar-free nut butter cookies for my nephew's wife.
