Pitas stuffed with deli sliced turkey, thin and crispy bacon, deluxe white American cheese and a few thin slices of tomato then put in a panini press. I now legally own 50% of a panini press and decided to use it tonight. Never even heard of such a thing, but it's kind of cool. I am also providing some finger veggies with leftover spinach-artichoke dip and ice cold Sun Drop soda.

I have never heard of bacon gravy, but I like the idea of it. We grew up with lots of gravy. I think it was a way of stretching food. We had hamburger gravy, made from the drippings of fried hamburgers. Some people had never heard of hamburger gravy. And evidently there is an art to being able to make gravy from scratch.
Growing up if it made grease when you cooked it we made gravy. Chocolate gravy and hot biscuits is one of my favorite gravy’s
 
Yesterday's was 2 tablespoons of potato salad and a few cheetos. Too tired to make anything when we got home.
Today will be free Thanksgiving lunch from the Catholic Church!
Hope it's good! I told little granddaughter that I missed having the Thanksgiving lunch that they used to have at the little grade school in our town. I went each year, and the food was good. The "superintendent" would give in and we would say a prayer before the meal because it was alot of amish in attendance, not too shabby for a public school. Too bad it got shut down last year. Now she goes to school in a whole different town, and no Thanksgiving anything. They instead had Red Ribbon Week for not doing drugs. Not the same. (sigh).
 
Fajita Bowls

First, prepare the savory rice. I use a rice cooker.

1 Cup rice, using the cup that came with the cooker
Water according to cooker directions. I use the "one knuckle deep" method.
1 1/4 tsp chicken bullion powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
3/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt, if needed
1/3 small dried ancho chile pepper, cut into TINY pieces. Can substitute poblano or serrano pepper. Heck! Use jalapeno or hatch pepper if you prefer heat.
1/2 cup whole kernel corn, canned or frozen

Put all into rice cooker (stovetop is good, too.) and let it cook.

For the fajita topping:

1 thinly sliced bell pepper, and 1/2 thinly sliced white onion to saute.
Thinly cut strips of chicken or steak to saute. Your desired amount.
Generous use of fajita seasoning. I use McCormick brand

I saute in EVOO on medium heat.

You'll want the meat cooked 'til done, and the vegetables softened and perhaps LIGHTLY charred.

Now, put it all together: Scoop desired amount of rice into a bowl. Drizzle lightly with queso blanco dip. Top with vegetables and meat. A side of guacamole goes well with this dish.

I hope you all enjoy this meal!
