From taco soup last night to "beef" tacos tonight, I suppose
we’ve got Mexican cuisine on the brain this week! Looking back, it’s a shame we didn’t serve
margaritas with our dinner tonight, but then we didn’t need those calories
anyway in this high-octane holiday season!
We arrived home from work (and a volunteer stint at the
animal shelter) around 6:45, and by 7:20 dinner was on the table. I put a pot of yellow rice in the rice cooker
and set to work chopping a tomato and washing some romaine lettuce (and opening
a can of sliced black olives – hee). As
the rice began to soften, I began to heat up some Morningstar Farms “beef”
crumbles in a pan (seasoned with some adobo powder) and warmed four hard taco shells in the oven. The rice cooker clicked off a couple of
minutes before the oven timer dinged – perfect timing! And with that, dinner was ready.
As usual, it was a fantastic, filling meal, and I regret to
inform you that we’ve got no leftovers!
We came to the table hungry tonight, it seems, and the tacos fit the
bill just beautifully. Not a bad way to
begin ringing out 2013! Next up: Ringing
in 2014. More to come on that just as
soon as it happens!
