Zac Efron and
Man, my hair was voluminous last Summer!In real life news, I have a confession. I will not be completing one of my December goals. Going vegetarian for a week just isn’t going to fly this month. With the Holidays, family in town, and dates, it’s only going to cramp my style. And my style is chicken.
With that said, I would like to try several vegetarian recipes so that when I do complete this goal, I don’t have an overwhelming “omg, what the truck am I going to eat” feeling for seven days. I will instead have a handful of recipes/not die. My roommate thinks the aforementioned reasons are merely “excuses” but I’m just not mentally prepared to give up Chick-fil-a for a week either.
Vegetarian Recipe #1 – Black Bean and Corn Quesadilla
%5B4%5D.jpg "DSC_1539 (1280x949)")
- black beans
- corn
- your favorite cheese
- some greens
- some seasoning (I used Goya Sazon with coriander & annatto)
- whole wheat tortilla
- some salsa

…fold it, and put that baby in a hot pan. Let it get crispy and melty and top it with some salsa. It’s like 1-2-3 you’re Mexican. Ole!%5B8%5D.jpg "DSC_1547 (1280x853)")
Want to know what else is meat-free and delicious? MENCHIE’S! Seriously, I cannot stop. Amanda and I talk about Menchie’s more than clothes and boys. Last night while Callie was here, I insisted that we go to try two of their new flavors: Peppermint and Cake batter.

Per usual, I topped it with an unnecessary amount of Oreo crumbles, heath bar bits, cookie dough balls, and sprinkles. My froyo to candy ratio is typically 50:50. What’s your froyo ratio?Later gators!
OMG girl, I love you ! once again, this is one of those times I wish we lived in the same city, as I sit here and LAUGH OUT LOUD.
ReplyDelete...and yeah, your hair looks AWESOME in those photos!!
XO <3
OMG IM DYING! First, I LOVE the pictures...you and Zac look great together. Second, thank you for informing me that my future husband is now available :) Hah have a good night!
ReplyDeleteOMG. I did not know that and I am like the queen of gossip sites. Well, good because she was annoying! Hahaa. I am OBSESSED with him haha, especially after Charlie St. CLOUD. OMG. Watch that.
ReplyDeleteMan, you are on it with Zach Efron's status. If you want to stalk him and come out to Cali, just let me know. You can crash at my pad, lol! I'll buy you a Hollywood map that has all the celebrity houses.
ReplyDeleteCue the mariacha band...while you eat your food
I hadn't heard the news! OMG. You better fly to Cali fast, because I may get to him before you! Mehehe...Actually, nevermind, you be the cougar. I'll be satisfied with face-in-hole pics and go after (not-so-single) Jon Hamm instead. I know, I know, he's SO OLD!
ReplyDeleteLoving that veggie quesadilla! And MENCHIES...mmm.
We are going to be fighting over Mr. Efron. So glad he dumped Baby V, he can do so much better, like one of us! My husband called to tell me the news yesterday because he knows how much I love me some Zac.
ReplyDeleteQuesadilla looks delish! send me that lasagna soup recipe sounds great!
Snicker Doodle Sugar Cookies flavored FroYo is better from 32! But I do not drench mine w/ toppings for a sugar high like you do.

I like my ice cream to be drowning in sprinkles- a 50/50 ratio. And I usually end up finishing the sprinkles before the ice cream anyway and throwing the last few bites of ice cream out. I LIVE for sprinkles.
ReplyDeleteDid you taste test the gingerbread? I am so excited to give it a go. Hooray about Zac! Toppings to yogurt, 1:2
ReplyDeleteIt’s like 1-2-3 you’re Mexican. Ole = great line. cracks me up.
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd be pumped about the Zac Effron news!!!!!
ahahaha! I love how you inserted your picture in those photos! Too funny! The quesadilla looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteMrs Efron, I must say, y'all make a super cute couple ;)
ReplyDeleteI plan on trying to go vegetarian for a week, too... but definitely not in December! too hard! :)
Oh ma GAH SO PUMPED that he's single! Get it girl!
ReplyDeleteI have a love affair with Menchies, and I've only been twice, is that possible? Mmm your concoction looks divine, just not as divine as Mister Efron.
I just put some fro-yo in my last blog! I am a 50/50 kind of girl too! AMAZING! What did we do for so long with Menchies or any other like fro-yo shop?
ReplyDeleteLMHO!! I saw that first picture and thought "That's not Chistina's hair.." :P But woohoo! Zach's single! Maybe he reads this blog and you two can get together. ;) It could happen, right?
ReplyDeleteOMG I love those photos! So funny!
ReplyDeleteI need to make a trip out to Mt. P to try out Menchie's. ALthough, King Street is stocked up on froyo shops right now, too...
I loh-ve Zac... As one of my friends said, "I'd be his beard."
ReplyDeleteI heard about Zac's new single status but I thought it was just another crazy Hollywood rumour. But since it's true...do you need a stalker buddy? ;)
ReplyDeleteOMG those pictures of you and Zac are freakin' awesome. Hilariously awesome. I love that you made those. lol
ReplyDeleteI'm totally waiting for the non-dairy form of holiday ice cream- I'm sooooo craving peppermint- ooooh cold deliciousness in a bowl.
lol! girl get your sexy blonde self to LA and get him!!!!!! U are so funny!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYay for going veg for a week! U can still drink alcohol so its all good!! I love my wine, cant be missing that!
Love u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your yogurt to toppings ratio was on par to me:) MMM
ReplyDeleteWith Chick Fil A, how could you go vegetarian, lol. Plus I hear that Zac loves girls that eat meat..
I love black bean anything, this is great quick recipe.
I would like a quesadilla now please. and maybe some chicfila on the side.
ReplyDeleteThat quesadilla looks delicious! Instead I'll be settling for homemade chicken noodle soup, a close second ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm so surprised that Zac and Vanessa broke up! And I just heard about Scarlet and Ryan now too. Seems nobody lasts :/
ReplyDeleteYour fro yo creation is beautiful! Whats up with all the celeb split ups this wknd?? Them Ryan/Scarlet and someone else--who am I missing??
ReplyDeleteIt's impossible for me to go veggie during the holidays and all b.c of one restaurant back home in FL. They have the best ribs ever and I refuse to miss out on them.
LOL - Hope things with you and Zac work out! :-P
ReplyDeleteYou might have to fight me..and 100 million other girls for Zac!! Haha totally kidding :-) But going veg this time of year would be impossible for me..I love me some steak, chicken, turkey..oh you get the point haha.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about a week of vegetarian, but a day could be done for sure. I do think vegetarian meals are a LOT easier to make than cooking a meat based protein, so it may not be all that bad. I just worry about getting bored with eating the same old thing also.
ReplyDeleteYour posts absolutely crack me up! You are fantastic, I love your quesadilla instructions. {Shameless plug alert!} My blog is full of vegetarian recipes, you may find something to try on one of your 7 days sans meat :-)
ReplyDeletei can't wait to go back to menchie's...especially now that i know there's one down the street from me!! my pb/chocolate/reese's pieces/oreo/cookie dough balls/sprinkles/whatever-the-f-else combo was fabulous!
