Yummy Breakfast Sandwiches
Whole Wheat English muffins, split
Canadian bacon slices
Swiss Cheese Slices
1-2 tomatoes sliced to your desired thickness
Coarse salt and fresh round pepper
heat oven to 400 degrees. Place however many muffins on a baking sheet as you are making (we usually do alot since as previously mentioned we have a lot of people to feed)and toast until the tops are slightly browned. Spread bottom halves of muffins with a touch of butter (only a touch, not much at all or it gets soggy). Then layer on 2 slices of bacon, 1 slice of cheese and 1 tomato slice (in that order). Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and return to oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the tomato is beginning to pucker and is heated through. I usually allow the tops of the muffins to go through this second toasting because then the tops are nice and crispy, my preference, but you do whatever you like best!
These are so yummy, but can be a bit pricey for a large fam, so we usually don't do this to often or only when tomatoes are in season because my former gardening hubby hates hydroponic tomatoes.

Salsa Rice
1 1/2 cups rice
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup mild salsa
1 tablespoons olive oil
In a medium sauce pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add in dry rice. Stir for about 5 minutes until rice becomes a golden brown color.
Add in broth and salsa (Slowly into rice, not directly onto hot pan!) Stir it up and bring to a boil. Once it starts boiling, turn the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for 20 minutes and fluff with a fork.
This rice is fabulous!! LOVE IT!

Taco Pork Chops
1 pkg taco seasoning
1-2 tbsps olive oil
Place the chops in a ziplock bag with the taco seasoning (can make your own, we love a kind we found only in kansas city we still have some on hand and I am not above asking a friend to mail it to me!) shake the bag to coat the chops evenly. Heat the oil on a griddle or a large skillet, when hot place the chops on the heat. Cook the chops for 5-6 minutes per side, watch them to make sure they brown but do not burn. Serve hot with a side of salsa rice. Makes 6-8 servings (we have a big family!)
Leftovers are good too, and can be easily reheated for lunch or dinner the next day.
yes, i use my kids plate to serve food sometimes ;D
