Pepper Jack Cheese Burger

Mexican Egg Rolls with Creamy Avocado Ranch

This cheeseburger will breathe new life into a ho-hum beef patty. While the heat definitely isn't overwhelming, the pepper jack cheese adds just the right amount of "kick" to this thick, juicy, fabulous burger. The egg rolls are like the ones you get at Chili's. Crisp and crunchy on the outside, these egg rolls are stuffed with corn, beans, chicken, cheese, and herbs and spices. The creamy avocado ranch dip provides the "cool" for the "heat" of the egg roll. These little beauties have so much flavor packed into every bite!

Because the egg rolls have been so popular, you have a few ordering options with this meal. You can get the traditional order which consists of 4 burgers and 4 egg rolls. Or, you can bypass the burger altogether and order 12 egg rolls. Just let me know when you place your order.

Shredded Barbacoa Sweet Pork Salad

Avocado Ranch Dressing

This salad is deep, layered, satisfying, and incredibly flavorful. In a flour tortilla bowl, I start with a flavorful cilantro lime rice as the the first layer, add soft black beans in a light tomato sauce, top the beans with cheese, and finally pour on handfuls of tender, sweet, Barbacoa pork. I top the entire creation with crispy lettuce and a creamy avocado ranch dressing. Several people have told me that this is even better than Cafe Rio's. Maybe it's just because the price is right and you get a lot more.

Hey everyone,

Hope that you have had a great start to the summer.  I will send everyone their updated accounts later this week.  As you can see, I will only be cooking on Wednesday this week.  The summer meals are so labor intensive.  It is usually a 8 to 10 hour day for both my husband and me.  I can't do it by myself.  Eric has started a wonderful new job.  Here is the downside, he is out of town for most of the week.  He will only be home for a few days at a time.  I am in charge of all the helpful things he does when he is here, including carpooling kids. :)  So, the plan for now is to cook on the days when he is home.  I will not be cooking on traveling days.  He is almost always home on Tuesday or Wednesday.  Luckily, Tuesday and Wednesday are always my busiest days.  Some weeks he might be home more and I will schedule Meagan's Meals accordingly.  Thank you for all your support and understanding.  Meagan

Chef Salad

Homemade Ranch Dressing and Croutons

Yummy Crusty Hard Rolls

This is chef salad to the max! If you can think of a topping, you'll find it on this salad. The list of ingredients is seemingly endless: moist chicken breast, crunchy bacon, sliced ham, two kinds of cheese, hard-boiled eggs, shredded carrots, shredded cabbage, crisp cucumber, and sweet grape tomatoes. I top it off with my homemade ranch dressing. If you're lucky, you'll get some of my famous, homemade croutons to make this salad perfection. That is, unless my husband sneaks all of them first.
