Huevos Rancheros

by

Skipping dinner last night left me ravenous this morning!  I knew I needed to remedy that with a big plate of stick-to-your-ribs food.

  4. Add eggs to skillet and cook through.
  5. At the last minute, add 2oz chopped cheddar.
  6. Remove from pan and top with 2dashes Chipotle Tabasco and 1-2T salsa.

‘Twas good!

The reason I am up so early (for me) is because today is busy busy.  I have a doctors appointment at 9:30 (to deal with my ridiculous foot worts that are still there!!!) and then I have my first lab today!  It is supposed to run from 5-8:50 but we are taking a safety test, not doing a lab experiment, so I hope we get out early.  The doctor’s office is near campus so I’m going to go straight to school from there, it will be a loooong day.  I’m going to buy lunch at school and I packed a snack.  Have a great day!

What is your favorite way to eat eggs?  I adore sunny side up with bread for dipping, but lately I’ve been all about salsa on everything.

Bulimic Taco

My class went well and I got all of my campus to-do’s completed.  My San Fransisco trip is causing me to miss a test so I have to complete some forms to be able to get a make-up date.  When I was looking at my day planner I realized that that trip is actually the weekend right after I am flying to Ohio for my grandma’s birthday; it’s going to be a busy fall!

Adam called me on the way home to say he was out of printer ink so I pushed baking back until tomorrow and picked him up to go to Target.  I had been pretty excited about my sweet endeavor so he really didn’t have to twist my arm to get me to agree to Anderson’s.

I got a chocolate and cookie dough Arctic Swirl.  I’ve been obsessed with cookie dough lately, I don’t know what it is!  This hit the spot, I loved how custardy the soft-serve was.  Plus I liked that the sizing was slightly more reasonable than some other places.

I ate about 3/4 of this.

When I got home I need a speedy meal so I thought of salad.  The resulting bowl is what would happen if a taco threw up 🙂

It was shockingly good, I’m pretty sure I’ll be making this again soon.

As soon as I shower it will be time for bed.  I’m hoping to really dig into studying tomorrow, so I’m going to head to a coffee shop in the morning.  I’ll post at lunch time.  Sweet dreams.

Mexican food is often the same thing in a different package, what’s your favorite?  I don’t really like tacos, but I loved this taco salad!  My favorite is usually burritos or nachos 🙂
