So, I was busy, I swear.

In letting life get away with me, I somehow managed to get behind in actually posting the various pictures I've collected. SO

Chimichanga innards-- frozen pepper stir fry mix, corn, and half a bag of Boca crumbles. Stir fry in a pan. After heated through, spray the pan again (minimizing dishes-- the working girl is far too busy to CLEAN of all things) and assemble chimichangas as you would a burrito. Spray both sides of the chimichanga and fry. Enjoy!

Asparagus-pesto alfredo sauce. Lightly sauté asparagus until they are a dark, vibrant green. Add in a jar of alfredo sauce and about a tablespoon and a half of pesto. Serve over egg noodles. This is also good with green beans or fresh broccoli instead of asparagus.

Butter bean loaf and crisp butter lettuce. Bring on the butter! To make butter bean loaf, mash two cans of butter beans (only drain one can) and mix in ketchup, barbeque sauce, chili powder, and some chopped onions. Add breadcrumbs until mixture is solid; press into loaf pan and top with a smear of ketchup or barbeque sauce, depending on what you have on hand.

French toast topped with fresh strawberries and bananas, drizzled over with strawberry Chobani Greek yogurt and cherry almond granola. On the side is a tofu and kale scramble.

Barbeque chik'n pizza. To make sauce, heat a 28oz can of pure tomato sauce and add 2-3 tbs of barbeque sauce. Adding a tablespoon of molasses would probably also do the trick. To make toppings, thinly slice onions into strips, and cut two chik'n patties into chunks. Sauté until onions are translucent; coat sauté with barbeque sauce (about 3 tsp) and cook until heated through and slightly gelatinous. Assemble pizza. (Dough was also fresh, but recipe was gotten from bread machine cookbook, so is cheating.) When making a barbeque pizza, never just use barbeque sauce as the pizza sauce. Always cut tomato sauce with barbeque sauce, because the alternative is disgusting. Cutting tomato sauce with barbeque sauce gives a nice, slightly sweet, smoky flavor, whereas eating an entire pizza full of barbeque sauce is gross.

And let's end with a little simplicity-- crusty sourdough bread and small, tasty chunks of sharp Dubliner cheddar.
