Quick comfort foods

Because I have been so busy with the farm, bottle baby goats, and Izzie the calf, I have been making lots of late night (sometimes 10, 11 PM...) meals and a few quickies. We've had lots of soups, pasta's... These are a couple of my favorite quick, yummy, comforting meals, especially good for late night suppers.

Caramelized Onion Macaroni

This one is super quick, just heat lots of butter in a pan and caramelize your onions over a slow heat until they are golden brown and delicious. Then just pour them over some cooked macaroni or other small pasta and mix. Sprinkle some Parmesan on it and enjoy.

Black Bean Avocado wraps

Take and drain one can of black beans, or two depending on how much you want. One can makes three wraps. Finely dice one large clove of garlic (you can use two cloves if you use two cans)

Heat some oil in a pan and add the black beans and garlic, and heat through. Mash the beans and garlic.

Grate some Mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese and mash up your avocado.

Get your wraps ready, and place some of the beans, avocado, and cheese, on each wrap. Wrap them individually in paper towel and microwave for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted. We eat these with sour cream and they are so yummy.
