Come on girls. Do you believe in love? ‘Cause I got something to say about it. And it goes something like this. Oh wait. Wrong forum! Or is it? On second thought, I DO have something to say about this, and it goes something like this: Can we just put beer in everything already? Who’s [...]

Easy Black Bean and Guacamole Tostadas
You know how when you close your eyes at night, images appear behind your eyelids? And it’s not your imagination really, they’re just random what-have-you designs that place themselves there without permission or inhibition? Do you know what I’m talking about? Well, the other night whilst in bed (am I a total troll using the [...]
Mexi-Mac ‘N Cheese and Tex-Mex Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Mex Mex Mex! Mex-a-Roo! Mex Mania! Mex to the Max! Mexa Moxa Mixa seriously end this already for the love before you throw yourself out the nearest window? Look. Imon’ be straight wicha. I accidentally made quite possibly the creamiest Macaroni and Cheese all spiced up Mexi-style. It’s actually quite difficult for my heart to [...]
Chicken Sausage Chili
“Um, this is totally chili,” says Bev to Aaron on the hottest day in all of eternity and then some. “I know, I know. Total accident. I was going for more of a beans and rice type of thing, and adding those chicken sausages you bought the other day, which was a genius move on [...]
Tempeh and Black Bean Quesadillas
This is why I’m not a cakestress. Do you see my “awwww isn’t she just precious” attempt to “drizzle” a seductively smooth guacamole sauce on my quesadillas? Right. It started off as this brilliant idea that was going to change the FACE of this blog. I got so excited, jumping up and down to Aaron, [...]
Vegetarian Stuffed Poblano Peppers
It’s Meatless Monday! Actually, I don’t even know what that is. Is it like a camp? Are there sign-up forms? Do we wear neon pink Umbro shorts with oversized No Fear t-shirts tucked into them? Because I still have mine. Although, mine say “His-Bro” because it was church camp. Yep. I gotta say though, I [...]
Chipotle Shrimp Salad Bowls
What started out as a sinless, innocent puppy love back in my college years, hath quickly and destructively grown into a full-blown, no holds barred, unmanageable, MUST HAVE OR DAH, injurious addiction. Chipotle. I freaking love Chipotle. Like bawd. In our house, you can often hear things like this coming from our mouths. Me, “I’m [...]
Huevos Rancheros
Remember the scene at the end of Reality Bites when Ethan Hawke and Winona Ryder discover their love for each other after a spell of confusing and tense times, and he runs home to be with her after being MIA for a few days, and she’s packing her little brown bag to catch her cab [...]
Vegetarian Mexican Salad Boats
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the. . .plate. So, I can’t decide if it’s really really sad or really really awesome that the only Oscar nominated movie I’d seen was Bridesmaids. And on top of that, I can’t decide if it’s really really embarrassing or really really sweet that I got 14 lumps [...]
Simple Black Beans and Rice
I was going to wait and make this after Valentine’s day, but when I made the mistake of verbalizing the week’s list of potential dinners to Aaron, he interrupted me at “black beans and ri–” with, “YES. YES. MAKE THAT TODAY. I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE REST OF THE LIST. JUST MAKE BLACK BEANS AND [...]
