I love Chipotle. Its delicious, and for fast-food, it's not too bad for you. But, it's still got more salt, unneeded fat, and calories than you need, and skimps on the nutrients. My favorite thing about this recipe, is that you can add whatever protein you want to it. I've done it with 3 oz …
I'm on day 3 of my 4-day doctor ordered semi-quarantine & rest, so the idea of a snowy Saturday was absolutely perfect. It would make me feel less bad about not being out and about other than to pick a few things up, and do a few random acts of kindness. Even though we didn't …
