Breakfast quesadillas

 I made these for my wonderful husband today. We had a perfect avocado so I had to make something with them!

Ingredients
tortillas
4 pieces of bacon
1 avacado
4 eggs
splash of milk
slap yo mama or salt and pepper
1/2 c (or more) your favorite white cheese

Slice the avocados. Mix eggs with a splash of milk and seasoning. Scramble eggs. Assemble the  quesadilla in a large skillet. If you use a lid on the skillet the cheese will melt before the tortilla burns! I like to serve it with salsa or spicy mayo (mayo and slap yo mama)

Fried green tomato po-boy with a shrip remoulade

 These are my first veggies that I got out of my garden! I was so excited! I even got to use green tomatoes that i grew for this recipe

 Fried green tomatoes
 Ingredients
   1 c veggie oil
   4 or 5 green tomatoes
   1c flour
   1 T Slap yo mama or seasoning of your choice
   1 egg
   1 c milk
   1 t crystal hot sauce 
   1 c seasoned breadcrumbs

Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy skillet. you want to have about 1/2 an in of oil in the pan. an easy way to tell when it is done is to toss a pinch of flour into the oil. If it sizzles quickly it is hot enough.
While the oil is heating up, slice the tomatoes about 1/2 in thick. Have thee dishes, I used brownie pans, to coat the tomatoes. In the first mix the flour and slap yo Mama. In the second mix the egg, milk and hot sauce. In the third, put the bread crumbs. Coat the tomatoes in each mixture. pan fry to a golden brown.

 Remoulade
Ingredients
1/2 c tarragon vinegar
2 T Ketchup
4 T creole mustard
1 T paprika
1 t salt
3 cloves garlic smashed
1 c olive oil
1/2 c minced green onion
1/2 c minced celery
1 lb of shrimp cooked

In a blender mix vinegar, ketchup, mustard, paprika, salt, pepper and garlic. While blending, add oil gradually. Put in green onion and celery and blend for a few seconds. Marinate cooked shrimp for an hour before serving.

Assemble sandwich. As with any poboy it is vital to use good french bread and nothing else. I like to toast mine a little. I hope you enjoy!

Super Awesome Healthy Granola bars

Ingredients:
3 1/2 c old fashioned oats
1/2 c oat bran
1/2 c wheat germ
1T Cinnamon
1 t salt
1 c dried cranberries
1 jar smuckers natural peanut butter (or small jar of pb or your choice)
1c honey
2 c of your favorite mixed nuts
1 c dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. mix dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls. I did this mainly so you can mix the natural peanut butter with its oils then mix the honey into it.

 Line a large sheet pan with foil. This will make it easier to get the bars out and clean!

 Toast the nuts to bring the flavor out!

 mix all ingredients together. Its good to have a very large bowl and mix gently. Press into the sheet pan and put in oven for 10 min.

 Sprinkle chocolate chips generously over the bars. bake for another 15 min. let set until completely cooled. If you let them chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight, they are easier to cut. Cut into bars and store in the fridge. They have not lasted long enough in my house to find out if they ever go bad, but I'm sure they stay good for a while.

I found that these fit perfectly in snack size bags individually so you can grab them and go. I also found, when I was developing this recipe, that if you add about half a container of the peanut butter and 1/2- 3/4 c of honey the granola will be crumbly and makes delicious granola for yogurt!
