My newest food obsession is (Old El Paso) Refried Black Beans. Mix 'em up with some quinoa, throw in a bit of SW flair, and Yum! This picture really doesn't do it much justice, but oh wow did it come out good! I, of course, added fresh salsa and guacamole to the finished recipe. … Continue reading Southwestern Quinoa and Black Beans

I skipped breakfast this morning (other than my usual vat of coffee) because I knew we were ordering out (Chinese food) for lunch. I had Broccoli with garlic sauce and brown rice.

Back on track day 1. It didn't start so great since I left for work without my food. Thankfully I have stuff that I keep at my office for those "just in case" days. Breakfast was an Amy's Organic Black Bean and Tomato Burrito, and lunch was an Amy's Mexican Casserole, topped with guacamole. Got … Continue reading mEatless Monday (and March summary)

I'm up a few pounds (again - UGH!), so I decided it's time to try out, and come up with, some new recipes. I headed over to Pinterest for a little inspiration, and after seeing several variations of meals that combine chickpeas and avocados I came up with this refreshing "salad." It's really more like … Continue reading Mashed Chickpea and Avocado Salad

Happy Pi Day!

I'm sort of a math geek so of course I had to take advantage of Pi Day! At 3:14 on 3/14 I ran 3.14 miles in 31:40 :) My running has been going really well this month, with the exception of a "twinge" in my right foot that started earlier this week. I'm pretty sure … Continue reading Happy Pi Day!
