WHITE TRASH RAINY AFTERNOON MENU

I have been stuck inside for days now. I've grown bored, and slightly bitter. And hungry, of course. I'm also broke which has limited my menus. I went on a tightly budgeted shopping trip yesterday and came home with ingredients for ranch pretzels, Texas hash, and easy yogurt pie.

EASY YOGURT PIE

My mom always made this for me as a kid.

3 containers of blended yogurt, 6 oz.(I used mixed berries for this one)

1 container of frozen whipped topping, 8 oz. (I use the light stuff)

1 pre-made graham cracker crust ( I was tempted to buy the chocolate cookie crust, maybe next time)

Allow the whipped topping to thaw and then add to the yogurts. Pour into crust and place in freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight. I added some blueberries to this one.

TEXAS HASH

Easy and tasty. I make it as hot as I can stand it.

1 pound of ground chuck, browned
1/2 cup of rice (I use brown rice)
10 oz. bag of frozen corn, or one 14 oz. can of corn
1 14 oz. can of chopped tomatoes
1 green pepper, chopped
3 larges onions, chopped
hot sauce, to taste
chili powder, to taste
freshly ground pepper to taste

After browning the beef, add all ingredients to a crock pot. Cook on high for 3 - 4 hours.
