This is shredded pork, mashed potato casserole, jalapeno beans, medium sauce, roll & a pickle.

Eggs, Toast & Tomato

I cooked onion, bacon, then added, asparagus, artichokes, salt & pepper to eggs. After eggs set, I melted mozzarella cheese on them.

Pizza Bread

I sauteed shallots in olive oil. This was the first layer for the french bread, next Campri tomatoes, chopped bacon, onions, fresh basil, mozzarella cheese. oregano, salt & pepper. I put it in a convection oven at 400 degrees until it was browned and cheese melted. About 8 min.

Roasted Cauliflower Soup & Cornbread

For the soup I roasted a head of cauliflower, drizzled with olive oil, salt & pepper, for about 40 min. In a large pot, add chicken broth, onion, celery seed, potato, frozen corn, bay leaf, paprika and fresh parsley. Add the roasted cauliflower and cook until everything is tender and liquid has reduced. Serve in soup bowl, adding 1/2 & 1/2 to cool and make the soup creamy.
Cornbread was good! I used pancake mix, cornmeal, sour cream, creamed corn and olive oil. It was tender, sweet and salty, light and pretty darn tasty.

Salad & Garlic toast for lunch

These little tomatoes are so sweet and great with the mozzarella and Thai basil. Garlic toast was quick  in a cast iron skillet. This was fantastic fast food.
