meal for one (not low fat!)

I tried to think of food that I like, that others don't like,

that was easy to fix,

and came up empty.

So when I went shopping 

I just grabbed a few things that sounded good at the time:

a package of bacon, a sweet potato, and a $2.78 butternut squash.

Oh - and 2 pints of icecream :-)  coffee and coconut macaroon

(which I shared with Brandon and Tyler after they got home) 

For 3 of my 6 meals while the family was away, I had the same exact thing - bacon and cheese.

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees

Arrange 4 slices of bacon on a baking sheet with sides.

Bake for 15 ish minutes; no need to flip bacon midway through cooking.

When the bacon is to your liking, remove it.

Using your same pan,

sprinkle a generous handful of shredded monterey jack cheese on the bacon grease and any bits of bacon that stuck to the pan

and pop it back in the oven for about 4-6 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown around the edges.

Eat it right out of the pan.

Scrumptious, I tell you. Scrumptious.
