FOR supper and luncheon you can often fall back on canned vegetables for a quick main dish if you enrich them just a bit. Among the vegetables to be found in any grocery store are: Asparagus, beans (string, lima, kidney), beets, corn, peas, sauerkraut, spinach, squash, sweet potato, succotash, tomato, baked beans, spaghetti with sauce.
