Today’s mid-day meal was one heck of an odd combination.
Over the weekend I made Ryan a grilled cheese and refried bean sandwich that he affectionately dubbed a “ghetto grilled cheese.” It was quite an unusual combination, but he also said it was quite tasty. That’s all that matters, right?
Since my first attempt at a refried bean sandwich was a success, I used the protein-packed lil’ suckers in another sandwich for myself this afternoon.
I bring you a veggie bacon and refried bean sandwich!
Bacon 'n' Beans
What's Not to Love?
On the side, I included fresh produce in the form of grape tomatoes, cucumber slices and a small bowl of summer berries.
Looks Like Christmas

In All Its Glory
Protein, veggies, fruit, whole grains.

A Smile-Inducing Giveaway
When I was contacted by Smile.ly about sampling Snikiddy snacks, a line of all-natural snack foods, made with simple, wholesome and real ingredients, I jumped at the chance!
I received a bag of Snikiddy cheddar cheese fries in the mail yesterday, and meant to save them to enjoy in my lunch today. Unfortunately if you put the word “cheese” and the word “fries,” in the same sentence, my self control goes out the window.
Snikiddy Baked Cheddar Cheese Fries
This sample was enjoyed as a pre-dinner (gluten-free!) treat. 😉
Check Out the Cheesiness
I really enjoyed the intense cheese flavor of the fries and appreciated the fact that I understood every ingredient listed on the packaging (can’t say the same for Cheeto’s, unfortunately). I also loved the amount of fries included in the bag, as I often think bags of chips have portion sizes that would only satisfy an ant.
Something about the smell of these cheesey fries intrigued Sadie and she howled until I gave her two to try.
"Gimmeeeeee!"
Sadie said they were delicious, but she’s not exactly a tough critic. 😉
Now it’s your turn to enjoy the cheesy deliciousness!
Three of you will win samples of Snikiddy snacks.

I have to go with a classic-a grilled cheese sandwich! Although I recently used Muenster cheese and it was equally delicious as the the original.
My favorite way to have cheese by far is caprese salad. Fresh tomato, mozzarella, basil…. soooo good!

oh gosh so many! But one of my all time favorites has to be cheese grits! With processed american cheese. yumm.
My husband and I make a healthy version of chicken stuffed with cheese. We mix panko bread crumbs with different spices, like italian seasoning and some red pepper. I use laughing cow cheese to stuff in my chicken (yummy). You spread it in the chicken, roll it up, and then dip it in egg whites, followed by the panko bread crumbs. Then you bake it. So good!
OMG this quesadilla from The Hard Rock Cafe is amaizing! It is called the Joe Perry “Rock Your World” quesadilla with grilled chicken and pineapple, tossed with special bar-b-que sauce (made with joe perry’s mango-peach tango hot sauce), with MELTED JACK CHEESE, and stuffed in a chile-dusted tortilla. Served with guacamole, pineapple salsa and sour cream!

Ok seriously, I love anything that has cheese in it. I am a cheese fanatic! My overall favorite dish with cheese would probably have to be a childhood favorite of Mac-n-cheese!

ash – not sure if i’m too late but they look yummy. i love all sorts of cheese. the string cheese sticks. cheese on burgers. cheese in good ol’ mac and cheese. i’m pretty sure i’m playing with that line of healthy vs. addiction.
I’m pretty sure if you put cheese on anything it makes it instantly 8,000 times more delicious. Just my personal opinion… 🙂
My favorite cheese dish is any dish with cheese!!!! And if there is lots of cheese and it’s ooey and gooey and melted, that makes it even better 🙂
Homemade pizza! goat cheese, tomatoes, basil, peppers on marinara sauce. mmmm
Mom’s Homemade Mac n Cheese. Just thinking about it is making me hungry!

I love cheese period. Especially when it’s melted! One of many favorites is homemade nachos. Ground beef or turkey browned,add can of rote’l tomatoes & ff refried beans. Put this on some tortilla chips & sprinkle some of that wonderful cheese on them.Put in oven until the cheese melts! Pure heaven for me!
yummmm, so delicious 😀
