Taco Time With Aaron

Snack
A while into my reading I grabbed a kiwi to munch on.
Already getting back into the old routine, I had a chocolate chip Z Bar during the choir break.

Dinner
Aaron and I decided to go in together on dinner which is always a good thing. Plus we had some catching up to do! We began with a starter of chips and salsa!
This salsa was super tasty. Too bad Aaron took it with him!
We decided to make tacos so I went out on a limb and purchased a fake meat I have never tried before. It looked promising and was perfect for this particular occasion so I had high hopes.
Aaron was in charge of the 'meat'. He sauteed onions in a little olive oil and added the fake meat. Then he added kidney and pinto beans, and a little chili powder. It came out perfect! The meat had the flavor of beefy taco meat!
While Aaron cooked up the meat I was in charge of making the guacamole and slicing up the add ins for the tacos. To the guac I added:
  • a little finely chopped red bell pepper
  • finely chopped white onion
  • finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 and 1/2 super ripe avocados
  • 1 finely diced tomato
  • salt
  • a tiny amount of cayenne
It came out delicious. The only thing I wished I could have added was fresh lime. That would've been perfect!
For the toppings we had:
  • shredded lettuce
  • homemade guacamole
  • salsa
  • sauteed red bell peppers
  • Tapatio
  • and cheese for the non vegan
Soooo tasty! I ended up having two of these babies and now I am reeeeally full!
This is Aaron's taco for proof that even non-vegans can enjoy fake taco meat. I would definitely by Soyrizo again. It was fantastic.
I am super tired! I cannot wait to lay down in my bed and sleeeeeep! Tomorrow is going to be a longer day on campus so I want to be rested. I keep catching myself wishing I could just go back to spring break but I know if I don't start this quarter with a fire under my butt I will have a heck of a time getting re-motivated. I'm going to to my best to stay on top of things...I even vacuumed the floor today!!?! Weird!

Good night blogworld. Sleep well and catch ya in the morning!

Lunch With Alex and Aaron

Lunch
My buddies Alex and Aaron invited me to eat lunch with them after class. Woohoo! For lunch I packed up some of last night's Quinoa Vegetable Paella whose recipe came from Fatfree Vegan Kitchen. I snagged some salt and pepper for free from the Corner Store on campus while we heated up our lunches.
I also grabbed a Pomegranate Paradise from Jamba Juice using the gift card my mommy gave me for Valentine's Day. It was perfect!
All together now!
There's Alex! He was very proud of his homemade eggplant parmesan with multicolored pasta. It looked at smelled really good.
There's me!
There's the boys! Aaron plays cello, Alex plays viola, and I'm the soprano. We are quite the musical group.
Eating Kiwis with the skin just like an apple is so satisfying for some reason! It tasted sweeter to me.
Savannah and I have a date to make the most amazing Oatmeal Cookies we can come up with later tonight! I am sooo looking forward to it!

Dinner post coming soon!
