sweet tattoo for girls wallpaper: dinner

Here's a very easy dinner idea that's vegetarian (vegan if you omit the cheese and Greek yogurt), healthy, and delicious!

You'll need:

2 medium potatoes (sweet potatoes would be great as well!)
1 onion
1 green pepper
1 jalapeno
1 clove of garlic (minced)
can of black beans
can of corn
red pepper flakes
sea salt
cumin
and any other types of spices you like - even taco seasoning could be substituted for all of this- Trader Joe's has a delicious mix available!
corn tortillas (I prefer Ezekial brand)
fresh cilantro
tomatoes
lime
cheese
and the MOST important part - plain, non-fat, Greek Yogurt (more on this later)

1. Chop all your veggies (peel the potatoes) and throw them into a big bowl.

2. Add in the black beans, corn, and all the spices and mix. Now, when we cook we don't always follow a recipe and when it comes to spice we are heavy handed...so just add spice to suit your taste!

3. Heat up a little oil in a pan and throw everything in there. Cook on medium heat until the potatoes get a nice, golden crisp to them. If you want to get fancy you can cook the onions and garlic first with the spices. That's what Hank usually does but see that glass pan in the photo above? We initially tried to bake this concoction in that, but found it didn't work, so we switched the pan, which was great! But because of that little hiccup we weren't able to brown the onions, etc. Either way must work though because the end result was delicious!

3. Then, make your tacos pretty with all of the other stuff! Cilantro, lime, tomatoes, whatever floats your boat. And let me continue my little plug about non-fat Greek yogurt. It is the BEST substitute for sour cream, ever. Hank even prefers it. You get great health benefits, no fat, and it tastes so good. And once you go this way, you'll start to want to put it on and in everything! Dips, dressings, icing...the list goes on.

Happy potato-taco-ing!

Preview Night Dinner in San Diego

Tonight is definitely a first- I stayed in the hotel and Hank is out on the town! It's rare for him to be around other straight edge friends, as most of our friends in Prescott who were straight edge, aren't anymore. He's definitely not against drinking or anything for others, but he chooses to just not be around that stuff, which kind of excludes him from most of his friends activities where we live. When he's on tour with everyone it's a different story though, and I know he is so thankful for Lance (the singer and one of his best friends) who also makes the same lifestyle choices. Lance is with his girlfriend a lot when they're home though, so he's pretty much loving this, getting to spend time with friends and do fun nerd stuff for five straight days, which is right up his alley. It warms my little heart. He's at a party right now, and who knows when he'll be home, haha. It's usually the other way around and I am loving it! As for me, I am cozied up in this amazing CA King bed and enjoying every second. Sarah and Andy are downtown, but after I hit the gym and curled up in bed I just couldn't drag myself out on the town.

We arrived Wednesday afternoon after driving the five and a half hour drive from Prescott. I shouldn't say we though, because I drove the whole way! Yay for me. Lately I've been offering to make the big drives to CA because it helps me less bored when I am behind the wheel. And plus, then Hank will drive home Sunday night and I can sleep. :) Awesome. Hank had an exhibitor pass this year, from Super 7, which is a toy store in San Francisco, so he attended Wednesday night, which was Preview Night. I stayed back at the hotel and worked out and layed by the pool until I had get ready for a dinner party given by one of Hank's friends. The dinner was basically all of Hank's "board" friends, from skullbrain.org, which is a toy collecting site and is kind of a kick off for the Convention. It was definitely a fun time, and it was good to see familiar faces. Most of all I get so happy when I see Hank so happy and he was stoooked, so it was a perfect night. :)
