Bean Burritos and Take-Out


Breakfast Oatmeal with Bananas and Unsweetened Carob Chips


Always makes the tummy smile :)


Yesterday I popped into Green Cuisine for some take-out vegan lunch... 


Tempeh sushi with black sesame seeds, Jamaican stew with curried 
coconut milk, falafel burger, arame seaweed, chili powder and cayenne


When I got home, I had a massive craving for a bean burrito. When 
was younger my mom would buy me a bean burrito from Taco Time at the 
food court when we went shopping at the mall. They were sooooo addictive!


But i'm no food court, so I had to re-create my own version of a bean burrito...


First, I spread cream cheese liberally on a brown rice tortilla while I cooked 
up some refried beans with red onions, black pepper and chili powder...


Then a few spinach leaves were added with the bean 
mix, before grilling everything on the George Foreman


Pretty darn delicious if I may say so :)


Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! To those living in 
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario, Happy Family Day :)
