   COOKING TIP

 Be BRAVE!!  Try going to the grocery store and walk up and down the aisles looking for new meals.  You are sure to find something!

WHAT I MADE FOR LUNCH/BRUNCH

My SUPER BT sandwich!  Toast bread, spread mayo on both slices, slice up a tomato, then put bacon, tomato, then more bacon.  I love to keep pre-cooked bacon in my fridge.  It’s great for quick sandwiches and salads.

This is my version of a Loco Moco.  Instead of rice, I used hash browns and instead of a hamburger, I used breakfast sausage.  I also added 2 eggs on top and hollandaise sauce (not in this picture).

WHAT I MADE FOR DINNER

My first official cobb salad!  Hard-boiled eggs, lettuce, cheddar cheese, bacon and tomatoes. Put your favorite dressing on top – mine for this salad is blue cheese. One ingredient I forgot to include was blue cheese crumbles.

A new version of my no-bean chili.  Used the McCormick Chili Seasoning packet, chopped up a half white onion and half green pepper.  One pound of 90% lean ground beef — you can also use 85%, but I wouldn’t go higher than 90%.  Your chili will be a bit dry.  The packet calls for the beef and tomato sauce, but after that, you can experiment!  And you should!  Don’t be fearful of failing in the kitchen.  Remember, there is always take-out!
