This tumblr has quickly turned into a food blog. Oh well.

Tried another interesting recipe tonight. Never thought of putting peaches on a quesadilla, bit this was pretty fantastic.

Discovered and made another new favorite recipe tonight! Basically, you make a pizza with a purée of avocado, cilantro, lime juice, and salt instead of tomato sauce. And, me being me, I added a jalapeño as well. And I also used pepper jack cheese instead of regular monterey jack. Love that spice!

John and I were both huge fans! Will definitely be making this again.

Tonight’s dinner was a vegetarian recipe (but don’t tell John). :)

Delicious with a side of guacamole and jalapeños!

Dinner tonight! I made it with turkey sausage instead of chicken. Also added fresh jalapeño, as I do with most things I make.

Delicious!

I made another big batch of one of my favorites today: homemade refried beans in a slow cooker. (On a side note, why does my iPhone always want to autocorrect refried to be capitalized? Strange.)

This is the recipe that I use, without much adjustment. I usually just throw in a little extra jalapeño, since we like things hot.

When they’re done, I put them in the fridge for a while to harden a bit, and then freeze into meal-size portions with my vacuum sealer (if I put it in there right out of the slow cooker, it’s too liquidy for my sealer and gets a little messy).

Great for a variety of meals - tacos, nachos, even stuffed peppers! (Which I did one night when I was out of ground beef.)

Tried another delicious new recipe for dinner! I only used 2 chicken breasts, but the same amount of spices, and it turned out very hot. Just how we like it!

I also added some leftover corn from when we had it on-the-cob the other day, which was a great addition to the salsa! Oh, and we couldn’t help but add a little shredded cheddar cheese on top of the tacos. Creatures of habit. :)

This was a definite winner! Sweet and spicy.
