I'll look for some fun blends. I don't think I've ever knowingly used cumin in anything--what do you usually use it to flavor?
I love getting fresh veggies too; sometimes if I am able to get a lot, I'll go nuts and just make a lot of them. I'll look for frozen asparagus.
Never tried dried beans, but now that I have my own place and space and don't have to worry about someone disturbing them, I'll look into it.
I don't use pasta sauce, mostly--that's what I use the canned tomatoes instead of, especially the spiced kind simmered with some fresh mushrooms. I do tend to neglect tomatoes, and they go bad so quick, but I use lots of mushrooms. The cheap button kind seem to stay good for a surprisingly long time.
