Leftovers or Special Breakfast?

Posted on April 23, 2012

It was always a special treat when mom made us french toast when we were little. It does take a little time and it can be a bit messy but this is a meal that can be ready pretty fast and can add a lot of pizzaz. Dress it up as a dessert with a sprinkling of powdered sugar, whipped cream, and some drained canned fruit. Or make it a really special breakfast and top with some sliced seasonal fruit and serve with some sausage and eggs.

A dinner that keeps on feeding, Arroz con pollo

Posted on April 28, 2011

Arroz con pollo, which means rice with chicken in Spanish is a very popular meal and there are even more ways to make it than there are to say it. Most all of them are quite delish. It is hard to go wrong with rice or chicken in my opinion. This meal is fantastic to make in bulk and then freeze into individual portions. I would often take a frozen portion to work and since I walked every day it being frozen kept it nice and well chilled regardless. Then at meal time a few minutes in the microwave and I had a nice home cooked meal at work that cost me under a dollar a serving. That is hard to beat!
