Bread

As I typed in the last post, Pepperidge Farm bagels are A-OK. Then I realized that they deserve their own post! I always get the plain mini-bagels and sometimes I even get the cinnamon raisin mini-bagels as a treat! Here are a few of the things I do with bagels:

- Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches (natural PB doesn't contain soy)
- Hamburger buns (always make your own patties, though)
- toasted with jelly in the morning
- dip in spaghetti sauce
- I like them just plain for a quick snack

I'm sure there's a lot more that can be done with them since that's the only "bread" I'll have for a while.... I'll post more as I think of more.

Spaghetti!!

So I've always been a fan of Ragu spaghetti sauce. I was heartbroken when I discovered that every version I've seen contains soy. But after a few months of not having spaghetti, which is one of my favorites, Prego isn't so bad! I get the Mushroom version and prepare as follows:

Brown meat (ground beef or turkey) in a skillet along with half of an onion diced and a couple of cloves of garlic, pressed. If I use fresh mushrooms I'll put those in when the meat is about half way done. If I'm using canned mushrooms I add those with the sauce. Drain the fat off of the meat and pour in the jar of spaghetti sauce. I can't think of an easier meal! Tonight I prepared it with ground turkey, onion, garlic and canned mushrooms.... so yummy!!

If you like to have bread with your spaghetti, might I suggest Pepperidge Farm bagels.... either regular or the mini-bagels. It's the only form of bread I've found that contains neither dairy or soy!
