Take-out: Veggie Burrito

Amigo's in Bluffton.

This veggie burrito from a local Mexican restaurant was super tasty.  It was HUGE!  Loaded with rice, beans, cheese, peppers, zucchini and probably more.  Next time I might ask for some more veggies and less rice.  I was really surprised, and I don't know if this is based on the way the cook the rice or beans, but it actually tasted meaty.

Zesty Ravioli Skillet

Pampered Chef

Recipe Here 

This dish was super easy and very yummy.  I left out the jalapenos as I am not a very big fan of spicy foods.  I also used plain diced tomatoes and added fresh, thinly slice onions to the pan with the garlic.  

Up and Downside:  This made a ton!  For the two of us we ended up with 4 or 5 meals out of it.  Good for the wallet but boring for the pallet.

Cheese & Bean Enchiladas

 

Monday - January 3, 2010

I started with this recipe but really didn't do anything close to this.

Basics are the same but, here's what I did:

• Pan friend each corn tortilla for a few mins in a small skillet (used Pam instead of oil)
• Added small amount of onions and then Queso Fresco to each tortilla and rolled.  Did half with veggie refried beans, cheese and onions
• Placed fold down in baking dish (that was drizzled with olive oil)
• Repeated until baking dish was filled.
• Covered with one can of enchilada sauce
• sprinkled with grated monterery jack cheese.
• Baked, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes until cheese melted and heated through

Simple, quick and easy.  Another one that made a ton so we had enough for dinner and lunch each.

Welcome!

Welcome to our first day of vegetarianism... well no, after some research, I've learned that since we have decided to continue to include fish in our diet that we are actually practicing Pescetarianism.   My husband decided that we should try something new for health reasons (we've both been adding lots of pounds lately) so here we are in the new year with a new diet.  I've done a bit of menu planning and been pretty good so far this week.  No meat at all.  No fish either.  So, since I feel the need to keep track of new ventures, figured I'd try to turn this is into a bit of a photo blog of dinners (and maybe some impressive breakfasts or lunches once I get there (so far just leftovers)). 

My goal on the blog:  Post a photo and the corresponding recipe (if available online or if I take the time to type it) and then provide yay or nay comments or changes made, etc.  There may be some other random posts in between too.  We'll roll with it as we go along.

So enjoy...
