Blt...

This is one of my favorites, and since my family is on the own on dinner this week. This is another one of my easy suguestions.



Loaf bread
bacon (baked or fried)
lettuce leafs
tomotoes sliced
mayo
dijon mustard


I have started putting my bacon in the oven lately. It is just as good and no mess of frying..  So bake bacon on 400 around 15 minutes or until desired doneness. Place mayo in one slice of bread and dijon mustard on the other. Place bacon, lettuce and tomato on the slices and enjoy...

Stuffed Peppers...

My husband likes bell peppers and I don't. But I do love Mexican food.  So I decided to make us both happy and take my left over taco meat and Spanish rice and mix them together and stuff them into a bell pepper..  Great way to use left overs from Mexican night.


6 bell peppers
1 lb Ground beef
1 pk. Taco season
1 box Spanish rice
1 cup Salsa
1can black beans
Cheese

Brown ground beef and add taco season. Core and blanch bell peppers. Then cook the rice in the blanching water per box instructions. Take the taco seasoned meat and mix with the rice and add salsa stir all together and place into peppers.  Bake for 350 for 25 minutes.  Top with Mexican blend cheese and bake 10 to 15 minutes more and dig in..
