Russian Tea

An old Boy Scout favorite. Has little to do with Russia or tea, but it tastes great.

2 cups sugar
1 cup Tang orange powder
1/2 cup instant tea
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 pkg lemonade mix, 1 qt size

Mix ingredients together and store in a zip lock bag. Mix 2-3 tablespoons with a cup of hot water.

Refried Beans and Rice Burritos

This one is a calorie monster that will stick to your ribs for hours. Rice and beans combine for a complete protein. These refried beans are surprisingly good.

2 cups water
1 cup instant rice
1/2 of 7 oz. pkg. instant refried beans
flour tortillas
hot sauce

Bring water to boil, turn off heat, and add rice and instant beans. Stir and let sit for a five minutes until water is absorbed. Spread mixture on a tortilla and top with sauce. For weight savings, omit the tortillas and eat from the cup. Rice and beans can be made separately if desired.
