New Recipe, 7 Miles, Off to Auburn

So I guess you're right.... it wasn't a total fail! It was tasty, I just know next time I need a bit less stuffing. hehe I'm going to try, try again next week so stay posted for a yummy recipe! Also, sounds like i'm not the only Cabot fan! Yesterday was a pretty good day! I slept LOTS like 10 p.m. to 7:45 a.m. - GREAT sleep. I woke up feeling 95% - nice! I worked and got a bunch of stuff done, then walked 4 miles during lunch. After lunch I worked some more, then hit the library for some new audio books and walked another 3miles. This time, Austin came with me! He hasn't worked out in about 6 months but says he's ready to get back into the gym. I think he was too busy with the new job, but now he's coming around to the idea that the gym may give him extra energy and if nothing else it will get him out of the house! (new job= work from home) After the gym, I made a new, easy recipe from Real Mom Kitchen. Here goes:

Chili Bean Supreme

Makes 4 Servings

1 can Hormel Turkey Chili with beans – 98% fat free
1 can Trader Joe’s fat-free refried beans
2 oz. cabot 75% reduced fat cheese, grated, divided
4 flour large/burrito sized tortillas

In a medium pot, combine chili and refried beans. Heat over medium and stir until well mixed. Turn off heat. Scoop one quarter of bean mixture (200 grams) onto the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle with grated cheese (14 grams each). Fold tortilla into burrito. Place on a George Foreman sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Cook until golden, 3-4 minutes. Eat plain or with salsa and sour cream.

Review: Loved it! So easy to make and very filling. Austin added green salsa to his, I had mine "plain" and thought it had plenty of flavor! Nice to get chili 'surprise' bites since it really blended well and tasted very 'beany.' I'll definitely eat this again - too easy not to!

After dinner we did some laundry, dishes and packed up for another fun-filled weekend in Auburn! This weekend we play LSU, who, like Auburn, is undefeated 7-0. Should be a GREAT game!
