Nope, put them in the dish raw. Slices of Swiss, one for each breast. |

Easy Black Bean Soup:
2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed 1-2 cups vegetable broth 1 cup prepared salsa cumin, to taste (I usually use a tablespoon or so) Combine 1 can black beans, broth, salsa, and cumin in medium/large pot. Puree with immersion blender. Add second can of black beans. Heat. Optional toppings: avocado slices, green onion, shredded cheese, dollop greek yogurt, poached egg Serving suggestions: over brown rice or quinoa or with a quesadilla. |

Fake Avgolemono/Greek soup:
Chicken broth (I use bouillon paste) 1 lemon 2-3 eggs Orzo Optional: dill or scallions or parsley Simmer chicken broth. Add about 1 cup of uncooked orzo and cook according to package instructions. Beat eggs and juice of 1 lemon in a bowl together. When orzo is cooked, ladle a little bit of the hot broth and orzo into the bowl containing the egg/lemon mixture. Keep spooning hot broth into the bowl and stirring it in -- the point is to raise the temp of the egg/lemon mixture without scrambling the eggs. Once you've ladled in about 1 cup of the hot broth, pour the whole bowl of the egg/lemon/broth mixture into the pot on the stove containing the rest of the orzo/broth. If a few bits of the egg white scramble in the soup, no big deal. Salt and pepper to taste. Add your minced/snipped herbs as desired. Serve with bread or crackers. A delicious, quick, easy soup. |

Sort-of huevos rancheros:
Goya black bean soup quesadilla-size tortillas eggs shredded jack cheese serve with: salsa, rice, sour cream, avocados Grease a pan with oil or non-stick spray. Brown a tortilla on one side, then flip, and add cheese. When cheese starts to melt, crack an egg on top. Cook for a minute, then flip and cook the egg to your desired state (I like over-easy). While you you are cooking the egg/tortilla, drain off most of the liquid from the black bean soup, heat it up in a saucepan. Turn the egg/tortilla onto a plate, add a scoop of the hot black beans, sprinkle with cheese. Add salsa, sour cream, rice, avocados, tortilla chips, etc. as you like. |

Roast in evoo any veggies you have on hand (I like broccoli florets, red onions, colored peppers, but have used carrots, cauliflower, etc. - just make sure to chop them to roughly the same size before roasting) together in a big pan with chicken sausage cut into coins. I usually do it for about 20 min at 450 deg, you want it carmelized and a bit crispy. While hot from the oven, toss with the little mozzarella balls, then season with s/p to taste.
Another one. Mix together soy sauce, honey, evoo (about equal parts). Boil a bag of thawed frozen shrimp for 3 min. Toss with the dressing and a bag of broccoli slaw (preferably the kind that also has carrots). I usually like to add garlic and red pepper flakes to the dressing and top the whole dish with crushed peanuts, but that takes it over 5 ingred's

Barbecued bacon.
Fry up some bacon, pour some ketchup on it. |
I think bacon is better served in a bacon bowl with a warm bacon dressing. And some cheese. |

Perfect! My preschooler took it upon himself to open my chicken broth yesterday, plus I have an odd excess of canned black beans right now. Thank you! |
