Easy Dinner

     Hey Guys! I wanted to talk to y'all about easy dinner options! I basically work office hours everyday. So I find myself prepping and preparing easy meals that don't take much time or lots of ingredients. I like meals that I can have leftovers for at least two times that week.

    A couple days ago I was doing some research on some new things to cook and I ran across one that I really love and its so simple and delicious. The recipe is called BLT! It's a fun little twist on a blt. In this recipe BLT stands for bacon, linguine, and tomato!


It takes about 30 minutes all together to cook!  The things you need are bacon, linguine, cherry tomatoes for a little bit of a sweet taste, minced garlic, and lemon juice! Since it’s pasta you have to have cheese! So I used a little Parmesan cheese. Also a little salt and pepper!

Since this is Bougie on a budget I can tell y’all exactly how much I spent on this meal! I spent 10 dollars! Yep that’s it! I already had garlic, tomatoes, salt and pepper and a lemon! Most of the money was spent on bacon and cheese lol! Cause the linguine was only 25 cents!

I took four pieces of bacon and fried them in a skillet. While I was frying the bacon I cooked my linguine, and also chopped my tomatoes in half. I cut about the whole pack cause I love tomatoes and because they're small. Once my bacon was done cooking I removed it and placed it on a couple of paper towels.

In the bacon drippings you want to saute your tomatos. Now you also add your garlic which should be 1 clove minced.  Stir for about two minutes. Now you add the bacon and lemon juice. Cut your lemon in half and squeeze a little juice in! Then add your salt and pepper for taste! Last add your pasta and your cheese and it's time to eat! I also added fresh parsley to mine, but you really don't have to.

I plan on sharing some easy vegetarian options as well. If you guys have questions please ask or if you guys have easy recipes I would love to try them!!!
