1/2 cup egg beaters
1 teaspoon chopped veggies such as bell peppers & onions
1 teaspoon bacon bits (optional)
1 teaspoon diced ham (optional)
2 teaspoons shredded cheese (fat free if you like)
salsa
1/2 cup egg beaters = 2 large eggs
In a mug, add chopped veggies and microwave about 1 minute, or until tender, (if there's any moisture, take a paper towel and try to wipe out as much of it as you can.) Then add 1/2 cup egg beaters, your meat (optional) and stir. Microwave 1 minute, take a fork and mix up the egg and veggies. Then add shredded cheese and some salsa. Mix together and enjoy.
This is a very "no fuss", healthy and good recipe for a quick breakfast or snack during the day. (I got this recipe idea from watching Hungry Girl on Food Network, she has a lot of mug recipes)

You can also use pre-cooked chicken chunks, I used turkey deli meat because that's what I had on hand.

The Best Strawberry Lemonade
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
12 lemons
8 cups cold water
fresh strawberries
Make simple syrup by heating the sugar and water in a small saucepan until the sugar is dissolved completely.
While the sugar is dissolving, slice and juice the 12 lemons, then add the sugar water and lemon juice to the pitcher. Add 8 cups cold water and stir. Take 3-4 large strawberries and dice. Put the strawberries in a food processor and process completely, then add the strawberries to the lemonade and stir well. Serve over ice and add additional strawberry slices to garnish.

Bacon, Egg & Cheese Quesadillas
eggs
real bacon bits
shredded cheddar cheese
pepper
picante sauce
fajita size flour tortillas
Using a non-stick skillet, add an egg, some bacon bits and pepper. Cook egg & bacon on medium heat just until done. Turn off heat. Add some picante sauce and cheddar cheese. Take one flour tortilla and fold in half, then using a spatula, scoop the egg mixture inside the tortilla, laying the mixture on one side, then fold over the other side and place in skillet. Turn heat back on and cook each side until tortilla starts to brown and cheese starts to melt. These are sooooo easy and sooooo good.

Bacon Cheddar Burgers
Simply the best burgers at home I've ever had...These are full of flavor, thick, juicy and the meat doesn't shrink while cooking.
Angus bacon & cheddar patties (I found them at Walmart in the freezer section)
hamburger buns
salt
pepper
optional toppings: lettuce, tomatoe, sliced jalapenos, sliced onions, pickles, mayo, mustard, ketchup.
Preheat a non-stick skillet on high. Add semi-thawed patties, I cook 3-4 at a time.
Salt & Pepper each side and allow each side to cook for a few minutes on high without turning to seal in the juices and allow to brown. Cook a few additional minutes on each side allowing the patties to cook evenly. When juices run clear, and you see no pink, the patties are done.

Easy Chili Cheesy Nachos
Sundays have become chili cheese day at my house, and usually it's chili cheese nachos. Yum!
tortilla chips
Ricos nacho cheese sauce (the spicy flavor)
Hormel chili no beans
sliced jalapenos and diced onions (optional)
I heat the chili and cheese sauce in microwave safe bowls for about 2 minutes each, then stir.
Layer some tortilla chips on a paper plate, then top with chili, cheese and additional toppings if you like. Heat in the microwave for about 40 seconds so everything is good and hot when you're ready to eat.
