Emergency Lenten Meal
- open a can of refried beans and spread on a tostada shell
- add some salsa and any veggies on hand
- if it isn't Wednesday or Friday, go wild and add some shredded cheese and sour cream
- slice an avocado and try to hide it from the kids
- kids discover avocado; 'share' most of it even though they already had lunch
- microwave tostada for about a minute; leave the kitchen to wrangle the kids
- come back to kitchen; discover that plate was not covered and refried beans have exploded a bit.
- clean up microwave's bean explosion while tostada cools
- eat it; make another if still hungry, being careful to cover the plate
wow! "Emergency" Lenten meal! That looks like a pretty good Lenten meal to me!

Mmm, yummy! Just in time for me to fix a little lunch for myself, and no kids around to steal the avocado. :)
ReplyDeleteSarah- that's not today's tostada :0
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quick meal, we make use of canned refried beans often during Lent. I will be sure to share this with my family, since they often make their own after school snacks
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite quick meals.
