There’s nothing like a “Bowl of Red” on a cold day, but who has time to let Chili sit on the stove for hours and hours, not to mention having to soak the beans overnight. Lordy, that’s a two-day operation!

Panini Press Grilled Cheese – Without the Press
Sandwiches made in a Panini press are very good, especially grilled cheese. However, I’m one of those people that really doesn’t like to buy things that only have one use. Everything in my kitchen can do more than one job, even the strawberry huller can take the stem off tomatoes.

Healthy Spicy Meatloaf with Wheat Germ
Healthy, Spicy Meatloaf
I really love Lula Kabob. I was looking at some recipes and found out one of the main ingredients is grated onions that are pressed through a sieve to remove their liquid. It occurred to me this might be a good idea for my meatloaf. Usually, I make meatloaf with the vegetables chopped, but still large enough to see them. It’s good, but I wanted to experiment. The experiment was successful. The meatloaf had a more consistent flavor and texture. This will be my method of making meatloaf from now on.
The other thing that I have started adding to my meatloaf is wheat germ. It has a nutty flavor and is very good with yogurt and honey. It’s also very healthy for you. It’s an excellent source of vitamin E, A, and folic acid as well as a fiber-rich source of high-quality non-animal protein. If you like refined white flour and are missing the benefits of whole grain, this is a great way to supplement your diet – all that nutrition in something that tastes really good. However, if you are truly gluten intolerant, stay away as wheat germ does have gluten.

Bacon-Wrapped Spicy Stuffed Chicken with Ham Roll
Bacon-Wrapped Spicy Stuffed Chicken with Ham Roll
When I posted this on Instagram, a lot of people said it looked delicious. I told them it was, and I wasn’t lying. The recipe is based on Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Stuffed Chicken, which my good friend, Maria de la Rocha had posted quite a long time ago. I had been meaning to make it, but when I actually looked at the recipe, I realized there were some changes I could make to make a better dish.
Spane’s favorite appetizer is what I call Spicy Ham Rolls. It’s basically ham slices rolled up with cream cheese and chopped jalapeño. I got the recipe from a girl I worked with that had given her leftovers from a party she had had. When I make them, they are gone immediately!
If you make this, you can use whatever barbecue sauce you like, or you can use the one in the recipe. If you really don’t like jalapeño, you can omit it and use bell pepper instead.
