i’m kind of obsessed with food & especially with the food i prepare. that’s not me being cocky, that’s me being proud of myself because i was once a not-so-great cook & didn’t even like preparing meals. anyway, i’ve been considerably health-conscious for the last few months & it all revolves around food, because i sure as hell don’t use that $12/month gym membership of mine but my discount card at work (whole foods) is consistently swiped at the register.

the other night i bought taco fixin’s & had dinner ready to eat by the time my roommate got home from work. talk about gold-star housewife status. ;)

whenever i make tacos it’s pretty much the same, but that’s because it’s so good!

• a can or two of black beans. i put in fresh chopped cilantro, cumin & garlic powder.
• roasted sweet potato, red bell pepper, onion & corn (seasoned with oregano, cumin, & black pepper). i usually start by roasting the sweet potato for about 20 minutes & then add in the other veggies since they don’t need to cook as long. i also don’t use oil when i roast them. i just put some vegetable broth in & stir it so everything is coated.
• caramelized onions. just sautéed in some water, agave nectar & a sprinkle of black pepper.
• fresh avocado, tomato, romaine, cilantro & lime.
• sprouted corn tortillas.
• & i never forget the aardvark hot sauce! :)

excuse me while i devour some leftovers! :)
