Bruins, birthdays, and BBQs

Saturday was sponsored by the letter “b” apparently.  Kyle and I woke up at 7 am to get in a morning jog.  I hate working out early in the AM, but I love how it frees up the rest of the day.  So conflicting.  The reason I don’t like rise-and-shine cardio is because I suck at it.  I’m slow in the mornings.  I don’t really start to function until an hour (or two, if I’m being honest) after I’ve been awake.  The route I took Saturday morning typically takes me 24 minutes (when I do… Read more >

Vegan Enchiladas

Oh yes I did. This shiz will blow your cabeza.  I cannot put into words how awesome this recipe was.  Even Kyle was making googly eyes at it.  I have a feeling I am going to be making this with the same frequency as Lindsay Lohan’s relapses.  Ingredients: small green bell pepper (I used 2/3 medium bell pepper) 1/2 yellow onion 1 tbsp garlic (I used garlic gold nuggets) 1 tomatillo 1 can (2 cups) black beans 10 corn tortillas 4 oz. diced green chilies 1 tsp lime juice 1 tsp cayenne pepper 28 oz….

Boo!

Happy October!  (source) I love love love this month.  I probably always mention this, but October is my favorite month of the year.  It’s Halloween, the (real) onset of Autumn, and several family birthdays – including mine!!  And who doesn’t like their birth month?!? So yeah, I’m always excited when October arrives.  Even more exciting?  Today I signed all my job paperwork, so my date of hire is 10/1/10.  I’m a big numbers freak, and that’s about as good as it gets.  My favorite number is 5 and if you really want to know more… Read more >
