Patty Melt and Oven baked Home Fries



I love burgers, and Patty Melts are a type of burger utilizing sliced bread as a vessel.

Simple burger patty:
Organic beef
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons of mustard for each pound

mix all ingredients together, and cook in an iron skillet with a lot of thinly sliced onions.

Stack patty on sliced bread between onions and a mound of cheddar cheese - girll on both sides.

I serve mine with homemade oven fries (tossed in olive oil, and chili powder)
and a small green salad.

So good.

Hubby's favorite meal



Super Chicken
poached chicken in butter and garlic (shredded) then added to cooked fettuccini cut up into small pieces, homemade mushroom sauce, cheddar cheese and french's fried onion rings, or fresh fried onions (plus a secret ingredient) then baked to a golden brown...he LOVES it (I rarely cook it).

It's a heavy meal, but we enjoy eating on special occasions

ENJOY!

Homemade Pirata


This is a photo of a Pirata Taco I prepared for my son

It's filled with refried beans, panela cheese and fresh grilled fajita/onions
wrapped, then thrown on a flat grill to blend flavors together. He loved it, the end result was the rind of the lime. I purchased the tortillas and will definately purchase the same brand for future piratas.

and on a random side-note:

If I owned my own restaurant this would be the menu:

The slaw dog
Cincinnati spaghetti
Potato tacos (served all day)
rice and drunk beans
1 burger, our way
home fries your way
The salad bowl
pancake (stuffed, plain or with your choice of toppings)
mac & cheese
double layered BLAT (bacon, lettuce, avococado, tomato)

I've thought long and hard about it, and these are the things I like to eat
