BLT

Who can resist a classic BLT sandwich? Not many, I'd say. Check out this elegant looking piece of work. You may notice the added touch of sautéed onions. This is the perfect scenario to say "a little goes a long way".


(Makes 2 sandwiches)
1 ciabbata loaf
6-8 strips of bacon
8-10 slices of beefsteak tomato (or any large tomato of choice)
A few iceberg lettuce leaves, torn into large pieces
1/4 onion

Instructions:
  1. Slice open the ciabbata loaf and toast under the grill until slightly golden
  2. Cook bacon in a frying pay until desired crispiness. Remove bacon (do not drain off fat)
  3. Sautée onions in the same frying pan as the bacon, Remove onions 
  4. Rub the ciabbata loaf, open side down, in the frying pan to soak up all the lovely juices
  5. Layer all your toppings into the ciabbata, close and cut into 2 sandwiches
If you feel and hear that bacon crunch as you bite down you know you've done a great job!

Chicken and black bean salad wrap

It's so easy to have a quick and healthy meal! Wraps are a great meal for breakfast lunch or dinner! They're good for any meal because they're just so versatile!
We had these tasty and healthy wraps for lunch today. They took all of 10 minutes to prepare :)


I pretty much just added any ingredients I had in my fridge that would go well in a salad.....

a bit of lettuce-shredded
some olives-sliced
a handful of sliced deli chicken breast
red pepper-sliced
and some black beans

For the sauce I mixed some yoghurt with red pepper pesto.
I used whole wheat tortilla wraps to make it even healthier.

You can be as creative as you want when making wraps. These were delicious!
