Tortilla Addict

I love meals that involve tortillas!  Wraps, fajitas, quesadillas, breakfast burritos, you name it.  I used to eat a ham and cheese quesadilla every day as my after-school snack.  I took it to the next step during college, tortillas were my one staple food - I would even eat PB&J on my tortillas.

Fortunately, I've grown past my tortilla addiction.  But sometimes, you just have to revert back to an old favorite, or give it a new twist.

This combination of flavors and textures is definitely worth repeating!  Can you believe I pulled off another vegetarian meal without any complaints?

Mushroom & Asparagus Wrap

In a skillet, sautee mushrooms, onions and garlic.

In another skillet, sautee asparagus, sliced tomatoes, garlic and sprinkle with veggie seasonings.

Prepare your tortillas with a layer of avocado and a handful of shredded cheese.

Next, simply pile on the asparagus and tomatoes, followed by the mushrooms and onions!

Wrap it up, or eat it like a taco, however you prefer!

Don't forget dessert! I had a serving of vanilla yogurt, topped with blueberries, blackberries, crumbled graham crackers, and peanuts!

Did you notice anything missing in my dessert?  That's right - chocolate.  No, I didn't go all day without my chocolate fix - I actually had an Attune bar for a snack earlier and it satisfied my daily craving!

These are probiotic bars.  Most everyone has heard of antibiotics, whose job is to kill bad bacteria.  A probiotic is basically the exact opposite of antibiotics - it is a dose of live microorganisms that are healthy for your digestive and immune systems.  Attune bars have a very reasonable amount of calories, 3-4g of fiber, and are obviously great sources of probiotics and calcium!  There's also only a few grams of sugar!

Of course, don't expect it to taste like a hunk of Dove chocolate (my favorite).  My personal opinion of the Attune bar is that it tastes healthy and chocolatey, too.  If you consider the health benefits, this is a great option to consider when you're craving a snack.

What's your favorite meal that involves a tortilla?

My favorite is probably fajitas!  Or, ya know I could just eat the tortilla all by itself!

Vegetarian Night

I've been really busy at work this week.  Fortunately, my hard work earned me a free lunch!  Today, we had Murphy's Deli lunch boxes delivered to our office since we were working thru lunch.

I ordered a Reuben - corned beef of pastrami, swiss cheese, sauerkraut and russian dressing served on toasted rye bread.

The gourmet lunch box also included a deviled egg, pickle, chips and a cookie!

The sandwich was delicious with a little bit of Thousand Island dressing drizzled on top.

For dinner last night, we executed Operation clean-out-the-fridge.  This resulted in eating a bunch of leftover side dishes.

Tortellini with tomato sauce, corn on the cob, sweet potato, and green beans!

We deemed it Vegetarian Night when we realized something was missing - "Where's the meat?"

For dessert, we had fresh sliced pineapple.  And chocolate, obviously.

Then we went shopping and I found a new hat at REI!

I love it!  It's perfect for protecting my face from the sun, which helps prevent additional freckles.

Do you wear hats?

I wear them for sun protection mostly, but sometimes they are fun just for fashion!
