Pantry Week. Night 3.

In spite of my bad mid-day Sbux/Target Craving... we made it through another day.

I am including a bonus pic with this blog because our breakfast was so good...it should be shared with the world.

I proudly introduce the 'Breakfast Shamu Bowl'... vanilla yogurt/ flax granola/topped with blueberries. DELICIOUS!


Tonight's dinner was my Chipotle knock-off. White rice topped with black beans. Sliced tomato (only have 2 in the house... so I made one work). Cheese. Green Onions. Sour Cream.

Curses! I was out of avocado. I LOVE avocados. Then like a bolt of lighting above my head (DING!), I remembered I bought FROZEN avocados at Trader Joes a LONG time ago. I pulled one out and thawed it in a bowl of water. And was STOKED I remembered that...and that I could help clean out the freezer a little more.

A few minutes after I started defrosting the avocado, I looked in the sink and found this....



Apparently Lexi's pony wanted to "take a bath with the avacodao." Cute.

Oh... and I took some plain tortilla chips and warmed them in the oven. Right before we were about to eat, I squeezed lime juice on them, salted them, and put them back in the oven. They came out exactly like Chipotle. I WIN!

Here was our finished product.....



Now it's time to make brownies.

Pantry week may be the best thing to hit your household--unless you eat like kings all the time! Nice work remembering the avocado. I do that--only it's usually the next morning or so...
