Some real Beezo Bowls

I know I haven't updated recently.  So, I may just ramble on about a few yummy things I have been eating recently.

Honey Goat Cheese!  This stuff is great.  I have found it at Costco and Trader Joes.  How do I like to eat it?  Slathered on a pita or hamburger bun (the only types of bread I have around!).  Then, I toss a bunch of blueberries or raspberries on top.  Oh my goodness.  Sounds crazy, tastes delicious.


Home-made granola.  I take 2T brown sugar, 1/4 t maple syrup extract, 1/4 t vanilla, 1/4 t pumpkin pie spice, a dash of salt and 2T water.... mix together and boil in microwave for a minute or two.  I then coat 1/2 cup oatmeal (old fashioned style, not the fast stuff) in that syrup.  Spread it on parchment or foil and bake for 1 hour or so on 275F.  Mix every 20 minutes or so.  This makes one serving.  Add a couple tablespoons raisins at the end if you want. It is so good. 'Nough said.

Pulled pork.  I made this for July 4th.  I went to Meijer and picked up 3 types of pork.  I grabbed a loin, shoulder, and I believe ribs.... Around 8lbs, I believe.  I sliced up a vidalia onion and put it in the bottom of a crock pot set on low, then added all the meat.  I put in a little bit of red pepper, salt, pepper, crushed garlic, and let it cook over night (around 10 hours), I then put it on warm while I went to a parade. When I came home, I pulled the pork, drained the excess fat, and stirred in a little bit of bbq sauce.  Oh my gosh. That stuff is good!  I still have a bit in the fridge, but it is going fast!

Baked Beans.... For July 4th, I also made some baked beans.  I took 2 large cans of Meijer brand baked beans (with the sauce), added in a can of black eyed peas, butter beans, and kidney beans (all rinsed), some carrots, onion, a little bit of brown sugar, and some maple extract. So good!  I love the various textures of the beans.  Plus, canned baked beans have so much extra sauce, so this stretches the sauce and lowers the calorie count.

I keep making broccoli salad.  This time, I added broccoli slaw in place of some of the diced broccoli.  It adds a fun texture.




Burgers.  I love burgers.  For this recipe, I use 1 T vegetable soup mix (it has all sorts of chunks of veggies, as well as some powdered stuff), 1/4 cup diced onions, and 1/4 lb lean ground beef.  I mix those all up, and for a patty with a little wheel of baby bell cheese inside.  Broil on low for 8 minutes a side, top with a slice of cheese and some bacon bits, and put inside a bun!  A little bbq sauce is great on this burger! :)
This burger has some home-made potato salad next to it.

That is all I have for now :)  Thanks for reading :)
