Bacon and Tomato sandwiches
Bacon and tomato sandwiches are the embodiment of simplicity and flavor. Crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, and fresh lettuce come together in a sandwich that's perfect for a quick lunch or a delightful picnic.

🛒 Ingredients:

8 slices of bacon
8 slices of your favorite bread
2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
Lettuce leaves
Mayonnaise
Salt and black pepper to taste
🔪 Instructions:

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until they are crispy and browned to your liking. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

While the bacon is cooking, toast the slices of bread until they are golden brown.

Once the bacon is ready and the bread is toasted, it's time to assemble your sandwiches.

Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.

Layer the bacon slices, tomato slices, and lettuce leaves onto one slice of bread.

Season the tomato slices with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper for extra flavor.

Top with a second slice of bread, mayo-side down, to create a sandwich.

Press gently to secure the layers.

Use a sharp knife to cut the sandwich in half diagonally, creating two delicious halves.

Repeat the process for the remaining sandwiches.

Serve your Bacon and Tomato Sandwiches immediately, and savor the classic combination of flavors.

Enjoy the simple delight of this summer favorite!

Cabbage soup is a classic comfort food known for its simplicity and nourishing qualities. It's a warm and hearty dish that's perfect for chilly days or whenever you need a wholesome meal.

🛒 Ingredients:

1 medium-sized cabbage, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
8 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste
Olive oil for sautéing
🔪 Instructions:

In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until they become fragrant and translucent.

Add the diced carrots and celery. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes until they start to soften.

Stir in the chopped cabbage and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing it to wilt slightly.

Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice. Stir well to combine.

Add the vegetable or chicken broth to the pot.

Toss in the bay leaf and dried thyme for flavor.

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Be mindful of the salt, as the broth may already contain salt.

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

Remove the bay leaf from the soup and discard it.

Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.
