Tonight's home made meal from scratch was one of my dad's favorite dinners: BLTs, although we used to call them BLTM (M for mayo). This was a "search your fridge for dinner items" type of dinner- not really planned, just easy.
Simple Recipe:
2 pieces of whole wheat bread
3 pieces of cooked bacon
1 leaf of romaine lettuce
2 slices of tomato
2 tbsp mayonaise
Ryan and I stumbled upon a condiment that helps to spice up these sandwiches which I highly recommend for anyone who gets bored of normal mayo (although you strict health food buffs may find the healthiness questionable). It's called Kraft Sandwich Shop Hot and Spicy Mayo. So yummy!
We served the dinner with steamed corn - Ryan recommends boiling 2-3" of water in a large pot, dropping the ears of corn into the water, replacing the lid and steaming for 3 minutes exactly. Having grown up amidst the corn fields, I think he is onto something.
We rounded out the meal with a small romaine salad topped with feta, tomatoes and almond slivers - dressing choice (again not healthy) was Ranch. If you're going to have mayo, you might as well have Ranch, right?
This dinner highlighted two of my least encountered, yet favorite things about cooking - easy prep, easy clean up. I love going to bed knowing all the dishes are done and no pans are soaking!
I don't currently have any meals planned for the rest of the week...any seasonal favorites out there that I could make on Friday? Please share! Until next time....
Yours truly,
Christen
