Two recipes to make up for yesterday:

Okay so I forgot about my posting yesterday. Not that it really was anything impressive, We only did cottage cheese and pop corn chicken. We had to go shopping after Nate got home from work. It was late when we got back so I didn't have time to cook. Anyway, I will post the egg salad recipe from today and our refried beans.

So I made egg salad for lunch, Figured it was easy and made great sandwiches.
Egg Salad:
5 hard boiled eggs
1/2 cup mayo
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoons paprika
3 chopped green onions

Peel and chop the hard boiled eggs, Mix all ingredients together! Yum!

I made Mexican food tonight for Nate, since we'd been busy lately and eating all my favorites (Italian mostly) I figured he deserved his favorite foods. I realized after getting everything out that we didn't have refried beans. So it was too google I had to go. I have to say, I do not normally like these beans but this was so yummy!!

Re-Fried beans/ Semi-homemade style:
3 Tablespoons bacon drippings or Vegtable oil
4 gloves garlic
1 Medium Onion
2 Can pinto beans
3 teaspoon cilantro
1 Teaspoon pepper
2 chopped green onions

Heat oil/drippings and add Garlic and Onions. Saute until very soft. Add Beans, Cilantro, and Pepper. Stir until everything is warm. You can either use a potato masher or in my case a blender (I don't have a potato masher). Blend until texture you like. Garnish with a sprinkle of Cilantro and Pepper and serve!
