Tim's Awesome Salad

This is my typical salad that I make for lunch. It's not low-fat, as I am not on a low-fat diet, but more of a balanced meal.

If you want to make it more low-fat, see the substitutions below.

Ingredients:
1 outer leaf romaine lettuce
1 outer leaf green leaf lettuce
1 cup baby spinach
6-10 black olives
1/4 avocado
6 slices cucumber
1 green onion (scallion)
1 roma tomato
1/4 cup cilantro
1/2 oz goat cheese
2 slices center cut bacon
2 pieces frozen chicken breast cutlets
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
2-3 tbsp bleu cheese or greek salad dressing (or your choice)

Cook bacon and chicken separately, bacon by itself and chicken in olive oil. Frozen chicken breast cutlets can be cooked over medium heat in olive oil (covered) for about 5 minutes then chopped into pieces and continue cooking until done. Add chopped garlic to chicken after chopping, a few minutes before it's done. Remove from heat when garlic starts to brown.

Wash and chop vegetables, mix together to form a salad. Add goat cheese, green onions, cilantro, and avocado on top. Add chicken and garlic. Crumble bacon on top. Add salad dressing. Eat it.

Nutrition notes: To reduce fat, use different dressing and substitute non-fat cooking spray for olive oil. Remove avocados. Use turkey bacon. But it won't taste as good and you won't be as full so you'll probably eat some cake later and get fat all over again.

So I came home after having some beers and was feeling a little hungry. In the fridge was some leftover refried beans from a can or Rosarita's Jalapeno Refried Beans I opened the other day, I thought a bean & cheese burrito was in order.

Unfortunately I didn't have any cheese. Well, except for some Montchevre crumbled goat cheese which I've used in salads with much success:

Also I had some turkey bacon.

I've discovered that a little bit of olive oil does wonders for cooking turkey bacon.

I nuked the refried beans for about 45 seconds, spread it over a tortilla, nuked that for another 20 seconds, then added the turkey bacon, goat cheese, and some guacamole. The end result was probably the most delicious "bean & cheese burrito" ...with goat cheese, turkey bacon, and guacamole...I've ever had.

Also don't forget to add some El Yucateco hot sauce, green, red, or Mayan!

This is for things completely unrelated to my other blog, such as cooking and other experiments. Not "Sexperiments" as the name implies. More like "Tim's Experiments". Although who knows, it may get sexy at times. But probably not.
