Hi internet friends! I hope you all had a fantastic holiday (and hopefully long) weekend. I felt so spoiled to get a four-day weekend at my new job the first week, especially after taking so few days off the past year.
It. was. bliss.
Mostly I bummed around my apartment and a little bit around town. I got stuff done, watched obscene amounts of TV (caught up on Dexter since the new season just started!), hung out with friends and the boyfriend, and cooked! Sorry I didn’t make time to post this weekend, but I made a few yummy meals that I managed to snap some pics of before devouring them.
What did you guys do this weekend? How do you normally spend some extra time off?
Here’s a lunch I fixed for myself and Preston over the weekend. Simple speedy quesadillas with just a few ingredients. (Have you noticed I’ve been into recipes with as few ingredients as possible lately? I am really enjoying it.)
serves 2*
1 avocado
2 servings soy chorizo
1 C black beans
2 whole wheat tortillas
1 t avocado oil
* These were pretty giant servings, you could easily cut them down a bit.
Blend avocado, chorizo, and beans in a food processor. Spread half of the mixture onto half of a tortilla. Fold the other half of the tortilla over, and saute it in 1/2 t oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy! Repeat with the other one.
Seriously. How fast is that?!
