You got my weakness there... Love creative sandwiches of any kind.. I love egg sanwiches anytime of the day..
Here is a favorite
1)Pepperidge Farms REAL wheat bread/ Honey Flax/ Ezekial Bread or whatever you like
2) Eggs overhard
3) 2 Slices of nitrate free lean ham
3) 2 slices of Tomato
4) 1/2 avocado
Fry egg with pam spray or olive oil season with pepper only, (ham will have plenty of salt) when cooked throw ham in to brown it, toast the bread and spread the avocado over the bread slice, construct sanwich and enjoy..
This sanwich is packed with protein, healty fat, and good carbs and can be enjoyed anytime day or night
TM try using Red Leaf lettuce in your Sanwiches it has more nutrition and vitamins, do to the darker color, or use mesculin mix I find the bitterness of the field mix gives my taste buds a little twist... Also reccomend the Paul Newman line of Vinegerates for dressing
I use 95% organic produce when the Wallet can handle it... But whith the rising cost of food may have to go back to the usual stuff
I put tabasco sauce on everything haha I am a sucker for hot food, a good filling recipe is Chilli Con-Carn,
Ingredients:
500g Lean mince
1 Can or 3 Chopped Tomatoes
1 Can of Kidney Beans
1 Medium Onion (finely Chopped)
Tabasco Sauce
1 (or more) chilli's (finely chopped)
Rice (1/3 Cup approx = 1 Serving)
CLove Garlic
Put some oil in a hot frying pan, brown mince, onions, Garlic and chilli.
When meat is cooked add the tomatoe's, kidney beans and tobasco in and allow of the mixture to boil down a bit.
Add enough spice for your individual taste and cook enough rice to serve on. This is good as you can reheat it the next day and is extremely filling and delicious if you like hot food.
Another dirty cheat
Now this is all to taste,Ive been doing it so long,I just do it by feel,for steak or burgers
A-1
Some garlic powder,powder not salt
Some onion chips dried
Some hot sauce
Some Grill mates,mesquite seasoning
Depending on your cut of meat,either broil or grill,after allowing to marinade for about two hours
All cottage cheese is god,I dont care if its the store brand
Another easy little thing you can do
Take your cottage cheese,and sprinkle a little oregeno and parsley in to it,so it isnt the same old,same old
The recipe is technically called "herbed curds",but lets face it,its cottage cheese with a little oregeno and parsley sprinkled in
Would like if we could assemble a list of the best complex carbs. We all know things like pasta and so on, but I think a list would be good to have and help us mix it up and keep the meals from getting boring while still ensuring this key ingredient is being used properly. I'll give a look and get back to this thought tomorrow.
i just eat it the japanese way. Hoy some Soy Sauce on the top with some spring onions and thats it done.
A favourite snack of mine is to get a pepper, stuff it with tuna, mayonaise and black pepper and its ready to eat.
A quick chicken dish I like to make is this.
Pan/wok fry some skinless chicken pieces (i use sesame oil) for a couple of minutes and then throw in a spoon or two (depending on your taste) of finely chopped ginger.
A minute or two later throw in a two or three good handfulls of Bok Choy and shitake mushrooms. About 2 minutes later add 2 table spoons of soy, one spoon of rice wine vinegar and a bit of salt and pepper and its all done.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hours, 45 minutes
Ingredients:
Preparation:
- 1 cup dried chickpeas or 16 oz. can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans.
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 3 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 tablespoons flour
- Salt
- Pepper
- Oil for frying
Place dried chickpeas in a bowl, covering with cold water. Allow to soak overnight. Omit this step if using canned beans.
Drain chickpeas, and place in pan with fresh water, and bring to a boil.
Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then let simmer on low for about an hour.
Drain and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
Combine chickpeas, garlic, onion, coriander, cumin, salt and pepper (to taste) in medium bowl. Add flour.
Mash chickpeas, ensuring to mix ingredients together. You can also combine ingredients in a food processor. You want the result to be a thick paste.
Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a ping pong ball. Slightly flatten.
Fry in 2 inches of oil at 350 degrees until golden brown (5-7 minutes).
Serve hot.
Serving Suggestion
Falafel can be served as an appetizer with hummus and tahini, or as a main course. Stuff pita bread with falafel, lettuce, tomatoes, tahini, salt and pepper. As an alternative, falafel can be formed into patties and served like a burger.
Serves 4.

Slowly add bread crumbs until mixture is not sticky but will hold together; add more or less bread crumbs, as needed. Form 8 balls and then flatten into patties.
