creamy macaroni helper

Cat made some Mac'n Cheese in the Hamburger Helper style. She used  a box of Road's End Shell and Chreese and added a grilled burger patty to it.

She was supposed to make a California Club, but my avocado was not ripe and the sprouts weren't ready, yet.

Back on the list it goes.

beans and rice with corn and avocado salsa

Kate made today's lunch. She took a simple idea - beans and rice - added freshly toasted and ground coriander and cumin seeds and made a salsa using corn, avocado, tomato and cilantro. Yes, I have a ten-year old who loves cilantro and said the salsa would not be salsa without it!

Very tasty and easy dish.

Cost Breakdown:

beans: $4

avocado and tomatoes: $3.25

corn, cilantro, onion, peppers, spices: $2.50
