Prepping

Well, hello again!

I've had a couple months of splurging, but the nice thing about this blog is that when I need to come back to it, it's still here, full of recipe and shopping ideas. 

At this point, it doesn't even really matter to me if anyone else is reading it - I was in need of some meal inspirations, and my old self has provided exactly what I needed.

As I expected, August is a tight month for me.  I'm heavy into prep for Burning Man, and I need all the extra cash I can get.  I'm in a little bit of credit card debt right now (nothing I can't handle), and still have all those pesky monthly taxes and student loans to be dealing with.  I bought my plane ticket last month (finally), which put me in the hole.  Plus, my buddy Andy is staying with me while he looks for an apartment and a job, so we're both in a "the-less-we-spend-on-tasty-food-the-better" situation.

So, what else can a cheaply green girl do, but make BURRITOS!  I altered the recipe a little and made 8 fine burritos using short grain brown rice (with lime), 2 cans of black beans, finely chopped onion and red pepper, and some nice fresh organic garlic.  This time I layered some guacamole in, and topped it all off with cheese.

 Yum Yum!
