We went out for lunch, to a brewpub about an hour from our house. I had a burger, John had a pizza. And we each had two beers and shared a bread pudding dessert. It was all delicious! But I knew supper had to be on the lighter side to make up for these indulgences.
I saw on their menu a salad that appealed to me - a chicken salad with balsamic vinaigrette, bacon, egg, cheese, tomato, cuke and roasted bell pepper. I thought to myself that I have all those ingredients at home, so why not make that for tonight?
I cooked up 3 slices of bacon and hard-boiled 2 eggs (only used one of them) about an hour before suppertime. About 30 minutes later I cooked a single chicken breast; which I'd cut in half to make thinner, in a teaspoon of canola oil. When that had cooled, I sliced it up to put in the salad. Tear up some romaine leaves, cut the tomato, cuke, pepper, crumble the bacon - this couldn't be easier! And we both liked it!!
Dessert is something I bought around Easter time as a special treat at the wholesale club we belong to. It was a package of 60 pastry treats like vanilla napoleon and truffles, frozen, and cost $9.99. They're really good, and I had forgotten they were in the freezer, behind all my ice cream fixings. We're waiting for them to thaw now before we dig into them!
