🍗🥑 Recipes Below 🍳🥗

Prices based on my local Walmart in Northern Kentucky.

I pick these meals based around the seasonings I already have at home. Salt/Pepper/Garlic etc. And additional items at home such as milk, eggs, butter.

1. Black Bean Quesadillas- In a pan on medium heat sauté the chopped onion & pepper for 3-4 minutes add in drained black beans, taco seasoning according the package directions. Let simmer on low until water is reduced. In a separate pan on medium heat spray with nonstick cooking spray & lay a tortilla in pan layer with cheese, sauté vegetables/beans & another layer of cheese and top with tortilla. Cook until tortillas are toasted in both sides and cheese is melted. Remove from heat. At this point you can take the quesadilla & cut it or open it up and add tomato and avocado. Or eat the tomato & avocado on top.

2. Cheesy Sausage Pasta- In a nonstick pan on medium heat sauté diced sausage. Once sausage is warmed through add in pasta packets and follow directions on package.

3. Pineapple Jerk Chicken- At least one hour or overnight place chicken in sealable bag or bowl with lid, add desired seasoning, pineapple with juice & marinade. Chicken can be cooked as desired. Baked, grilled, air fry or crockpot. If cooking chicken in crockpot I toss chicken & marinade from bag in the crockpot. If we are grilling/baking or air fryer we do not include the marinade. Cook sides separately.

4. Breakfast Bowl- Cook grits according to package directions. Prepare eggs to your liking. We fry the eggs or scramble. Cook sausage separately and build bowl with your preferred toppings.
