Maranara for Lasagna/Spaghetti Squash etc.

• Sautee: Onions, Mushrooms, Garlic & Green Peppers
• Add a 28 oz. can of tomato puree (If you make this around the time you make tomato soup you can use the same base recipe)
• Add Italian Seasonings
• Add 10 Cloves of garlic using a garlic press
• Let simmer while Squash cooks

Done.

My Italian seasoning is from Caputo’s.

Fresh & Tangy [Bean Salad] revisited

Here’s the Bean salad again. I missed eating it, so I went right out and bought the ingredients for just a few dollars.

It generates about 5 meals. Cheap, Easy, Fresh, Filling, Tasty & Tangy. Here goes…

I chopped ::

A Cucumber

A Tomato

Celery

An Apple (squeeze lemon over the apples)

A Red Pepper

Green Onion

White Onion

Garlic

and Mixed them together with::

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A can of White Beans

salt

Pepper

Italian Seasoning

EVOO

Strawberry red wine vinegar

Plain Greek Yogurt

* Use whatever Bean you want. I used less celery than the recipe called for b/c I’m not a fan but actually when you chop it tiny it isn’t noticeable. I’ll add more next time. The Apple makes it all worth eating by the way. Try it.

*  YouTube’s TheThirdShift is a great channel and where I got this from.

Oatmeal Cont. [Blueberry oatmeal & Bannana Spice nut oatmeal]

The truth is making oatmeal takes 7 minutes.

Why not make your own?

Im not going to make a series of oatmeal posts so here’s some that I did last week…..

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Some had bananas and Pumpkin spice, Nutmeg & Cinnamon and others had Blueberries, Honey and Cinnamon.

Whatever combo you like, use it.

Sweeten with honey or stevia and add a splash of almond or soy milk.

* Bananas used were Hard & Green, those are the best. Stay away from those soft Bananas.

SO HAVE SOME & HAVE SOME WATER TOO.

I like to have the burrito bowl with barely any rice, black beans, meat, tomatoes, corn, salsa and lettuce. I eat half. Half the next day. Cheers.
