French Bread Pizza

Ingredients:
Loaf of french bread
1 8 oz. can of salted tomato sauce (you can do spaghetti sauce but believe it or not, the tomato sauce tastes better)
Cheese
Pepperoni

Cut the french bread in half lengthwise. Add the can of tomato sauce to both halves. Add the cheese and pepperoni and whatever other ingredients you would like to add. Cook at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until the pepperonis look crispy.

Tostadas

Tostada Shells
Ingredients:
1 - 1 1/2 cups of oil (enough to deep fry the tortillas in)
Corn tortillas

In a very small skillet, heat up the oil on med-high heat. You can test the oil to see if it is hot enough by sticking a small part of one of the tortillas in the oil. If it starts to bubble when you put the tortilla in, it is hot enough. With tongs, put the tortilla in the hot oil and lightly press the middle down. Leave it in the oil for about 10 seconds and then flip over and repeat. When the tortilla looks like ones in the picture above, take it out and dab it dry with a paper towel. Viola! You have a tostada shell!

Refried Beans:
2 cans of refried beans
3 tbsp. of margarine
1/5 cup of milk
salt
garlic salt

Put margarine in warm pan. Add the beans and mix until warm. Add the milk and mix well. Salt and garlic to taste.

As for the rest of the tostada....add whatever ingredients you like on your tostadas and enjoy!

Chicken Bacon Sandwich

This one is one of my favorites! I love anything with bacon in it. You don't have to use the lemon pepper marinade for the chicken. You can use any kind of marinade you like but I chose lemon pepper because it's my favorite for this sandwich.

Bacon
Hamburger buns
