Wayne is a w-e-i-r-d-o that doesn't like cake, so he requested a banana pudding instead. I was happy to make one; no lighting the oven and heating up the house! Banana pudding is always good. And it looks so pretty layered in my trifle dish.
I made a London Broil that I fished out of the freezer. Since it was pretty big, I trimmed off about 1/3 of it into thin strips for Beef Stroganoff tomorrow night. London Broil is buy one, get one free at Winn Dixie at least once a month and it's fast and easy on the grill. Just marinate it for a few hours, sprinkle with Montreal Steak Seasoning and grill.
Wayne loves bean salad, so I made some with what we had on hand. This is our low-fat knock-off of the corn-bean medley from the bbq restaurant I worked at for years.
Commentary on canned beans; debate continued from Monday.
Canned beans have their own wonderful place in the pantry. They are the perfect texture for quick dishes, like salads, stir-fries and chilis. Perfect quick protein for lunches and snacks, always there and ready!
Corn-Bean Medley
1 can each red, black and pinto beans,
drained and rinsed
2 c. frozen corn, thawed5 green onions, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbsp olive oil
3 Tbsp. roasted red pepper strips, chopped
Italian dressing (we use fat free)
Mince garlic, cover in oil and heat in the microwave for 45 secs. Combine beans, corn, onions and peppers. Mix well. Add olive oil and garlic. Pour in just enough Italian dressing to coat. Best made the day before.
This broccoli salad looks disgusting. If I tell you it's amazingly good and then tell you what's in it, you'd never believe me. It is really, really incredible! Give it a try at least once.

chopped into small florets
