What's for Breakfast : Vegetarian Burritos

mmmm made some super tasty veggie burritos yesterday! One of my new Years resolutions was to cook more and eat more fruits and veggies. So this fit the bill for both. I found the recipe on The Sisters Cafe Blog. They have so  many great, wholesome REAL recipes plus they are all sisters which makes it way too cute! You can find the exact recipe I used here. Happy cooking!

browning the wraps slightly in the skillet before filling them was key

We used Rice Milk instead of regular milk and it turned out fine

Fresh ripe tomatoes have less sodium than roasting the canned version

We overfilled these guys a bit :)

Great start to a weekend morning! Will be making these again.

Mmmmmmm!

Made some banana bread from those mushy bananas that were on the counter! I'm sort of surprised at how well it came out :) here is the recipe I followed if you wish to make some as well : http://allrecipes.com/recipe/banana-banana-bread/

Working on orders and new displays today. Happy Monday!

Early Start

Ah! I got up so early today. Feeling pretty energetic after doing all that cleaning! You could say that my oosouji was a great success :) I got my run in this morning and made this delicious and nutrient packed egg white and spinach pepper omelet. A great start to a great day! Now I'm off to donate clothing since I had a closet Zen moment yesterday haha. Since I'm still feeling quite minimalist today I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes from, Tales from the Tao:

"In the world of knowledge,

 Everyday something new is added, 

In the pursuit of Tao, 

Every day something is let go" - Lao Tzu

Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Made chicken soup from scratch for the second time this year! Kirk was sick last week when I first attempted making it and it came out pretty darn good. (at least thats what he told me since I'm a vegetarian) This second time around I have mended my mistakes and hopefully tonight it will be really darn good :) Thought I'd share the recipe I've been toying around with:

Ingredients

• 4 cups chopped, cooked chicken meat
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1/4 cup chopped carrots
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup butter
• 8 ounces egg noodles
• 12 cups water
• 9 cubes chicken bouillon
• 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Directions

1. In a large stock pot, saute celery and onion in butter or margarine.
2. Add chicken, carrots, water, bouillon cubes, marjoram, black pepper, bay leaf, and parsley. Simmer for 30 minutes.
3. Add noodles, and simmer for 10 more minutes.

One More Day

Ahh So tired from the show today! The best thing to come home to is a bowl of TJ Butternut squash soup and a hot pot of green tea. Rejuvenation at it's finest :)
