When I want a little sweet treat I make smoothies.
My base is always frozen banana + milk + oats then do one of these:
Cinnamon + vanilla
Pumpkin + pumpkin spice+ brown sugar
Strawberries/blue berries
Cost like under a dollar to make a good cup and they are pretty filling.
Raw mushrooms dipped in Hidden Valley are pretty good… I love how they pop lightly when your teeth pass through them. You also can’t go wrong with a peanut butter and banana sandwich…
I have a copycat recipe for Taco Bells quesadilla sauce that is dirt cheap to make. I’ve probably made 30 liters of it in my lifetime. Smear that on a mini flour tortilla with some Great Value grilled chicken strips (no doubt made with tortured chickens to keep the price low) and a bit of shredded cheese (cheddar and monteray jack) and you’ve got one hell of a tasty quesadilla to fry up.
Here’s the recipe for the sauce. Let me know if you get around to making it. Would love to know what you think.
1 cup mayo (I use Helman’s 1/2 fat)
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp pickled jalapeno juice (from Old El Paso pickled jalapeños)
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
A dash of salt
And how ever many diced pickled jalapeños you see fit
