Snack time

Nothing to write about today, so I’ll describe a couple of snacks I made today. You might like to try one or both. If you’re a cook, you may have already tried them.

Spinach for people who don’t like spinach:

Heat up a little extra virgin olive oil in a wok with some chopped onion. Add a little Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and a little Tabasco or Texas Pete. Add baby spinach leaves and let them wilt down while you stir.

Mini ham sandwich:

Open up a sandwich round, spread on mayo, and add a slice of pepperoni (sandwich size) and baked ham. It’s a good combination.

Sometimes I use a sandwich round to make a mini pizza sandwich. Add pizza sauce, pepperoni, and mozzarella. Don’t forget to add red pepper flakes. Nuke for 20 seconds.

I’m a fan of stir-fry meals and salads. They’re so easy to make. For lunch today I made a chili salad: hearts of romaine topped with a serving of hot beef-and-bean chili, red pepper flakes, grated cheese, and sour cream. It may not be on the menu at the Ritz-Carlton, but it’s cheap, easy, and tasty. Feel free to add a comment with a recipe for your favorite cheap, easy, and tasty meal or snack.
