WEDNESDAY: More Mexican

Believe it or not, we don't actually eat mexican that often. Its just that lately i've come to recognise how useful it is for quick nutritious meals, and with life being somewhat hectic recently, i've really needed those quick meals.


Tonight was Vegetarian Nachoes





Chilli beans, nacho chips, sour cream and cheese.

Hopefully no more mexican for a while though, i'm kinda mexed out!

SUNDAY: Quick and Easy, the Mexican Way

Until recently I never realised how great Mexican was for quick, tasty and nutritious meals. With a tin of kidney beans, some tortillas, sour cream, cheese, lettuce and some tasty herbs and spices, you've got a meal that can be whipped up in 10 minutes flat. Whats better, is that I ALWAYS have all those ingredients in my cupboard (and fridge).


So after a Brunch with the in-laws and the rest of the day at the beach, there wasn't much energy left for whipping up a culinary storm. And thats where the Bean Fajitas come in:




Before the wrap:







And there you have it. Have a relaxing Sunday night everyone.

WEDNESDAY: On the American Continent and Heading South

Dinner tonight was of the mexican theme:




A big bowl of chilli mince, rice, toasted tortillas finished off with sour cream and a smattering of corriander (cilantro).

Just the thing to warm our insides on a CHILLI night.

Sorry about the lack of Tuesday update. I got a bit distracted and forgot to take pics because we had friends round for tea, but for those interested, heres what we had:
Steak with roasted vege (potato, kumara, pumpkin, carrot, parsnip and onion), accompanied by traditional Yorkshire puds and gravy.
Dessert was a delicious Double Choc Self Saucing Pudding (which was v. yummy and I will make again soon and post the recipe).

Off for now, a night in front of the box awaits...or maybe just crawling into bed.
