In the dim dorm rooms of my boarding school days, I learned that tears don’t always taste salty and that canned food is both a blessing and a curse. My trunk, filled with tins of corned beef and baked beans, was my treasure, though after sometime I grew sick of them. Decades later, those same humble tins, once survival rations, inspired me and transformed with grown-up seasoning turned into hearty comfort food for my family. This Corned Beef and Baked Beans Skillet recipe I came across stands as a delicious reminder that God redeems all things, even our boarding school tuck traumas.
