Meat Free Monday: Black-Eyed Peas and Tortillas

Healthy Eating· Recipes

Today’s meat-free recipe comes from an old high school friend of mine, Kim, who I recently got back in touch with via Facebook (I LOVE Facebook by the way….although hubby wants to start Facebook Anonymous (FA) for people like me.  Who wants to join?).  Anyway, Kim just had a baby but still found the time to send an old high school friend a recipe to try for her blog.

 Kim Butts and Baby Tyler How cute is that little boy???

So if you’ve been following along, you may already know the hubby doesn’t like Mexican food.  But I made this thinking that it really isn’t that Mexican.  No taco seasoning, no refried beans.  So maybe, just maybe, he’ll like it.  And you know what he said?  He said, “It’s pretty good” AND “I’d eat it again if you made it less spicy.”   Woo-hoo!  That’s good to hear because I liked it too!  Great flavor.  Instead of using the tomatoes with green chilies next time, maybe I’ll try the tomatoes with cilantro and lime to cut down on the heat.

Besides this being a great tasting dish, it also had few ingredients, was really easy to make and didn’t take long at all.

Now my kids on the other hand still have not ventured into the whole bean world.  I really should have introduced beans to them earlier, before they started forming opinions, but I really didn’t start eating beans myself until recently.  So this is what they chose to eat tonight instead:

The tortilla is just filled with cheese, and that’s a dollop of sour cream in case you were wondering.  Adorable plates were bought here.

Anyway, on behalf of the adults in my family, thank you Kim for a delicious recipe that I will be adding to my dinner rotation!

I was telling some friends last night about my usu I was telling some friends last night about my usual  breakfast, why I make it every day (makes meal tracking easier) and how I boost the protein (1-2 egg whites depending on my mood), and it inspired me to make a reel. 🤷🏻‍♀️
✅Add steel cut quick oats & water, measured based on package directions, to a large bowl big enough to allow for expansion during cooking (I’ve made a very messy mistake before!)
✅Add 1 or 2 egg whites
✅Whisk to break up the egg whites, unless you REALLY like large chunks of eggs in your oatmeal 😬
✅Add a dash of salt, optional
✅Microwave according to directions
✅Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a splash of maple syrup
Other add-ins: berries, bananas, honey, protein powder

Made with 2 egg whites, this packs a ~13.5g protein punch. When I combine with my collagen protein powder in my coffee, I’m at ~30g protein for breakfast! 💪🏼

I use @myfitnesspal to track so I can either pre-fill my breakfast all week. Or just copy from day to day. Easy peasy!

So I did this thing. I became a Beautycounter Bran So I did this thing. I became a Beautycounter Brand Advocate. Mainly I did it because I was already finding a lot of products I liked, and becoming a consultant offered some perks to support my habit! 🤷🏻‍♀️ But also the more I dug into the brand, the more I realized how in line it was with the lifestyle I’m trying to live. The clean ratings for the Beautycounter line is always high (check out EWG) so I feel good about using it on my skin. BUT I’m not a salesperson, I don’t ever want my friends to feel pressured to buy anything I’m “selling”, and I really don’t have time to wear another hat in my life 😜. So if you happen to discover the line on your own and are interested in buying a product or 2 to try, send me a message or go to my page at beautycounter.com/angelafuentes. But otherwise, my plan is to not do much promoting. I’ll just be here if you need me ☺️.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🪅 Here’s the mocktail mi Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🪅 Here’s the mocktail mix I made tonight to boost my festive taco dinner. 🌮 The mix definitely needs a little tartness, so don’t forget the splash of lime juice and club soda in each glass before serving. Salud! 🪅

Even though skin cancer is the most common cancer Even though skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., it is also one of the most preventable. Take these steps to lower your risk:
☀️Seek shade, especially during the hours of 10am-4pm when the sun is the strongest.
☀️Use physical barriers to protect your skin (clothing, hats, umbrellas, sunglasses).
☀️Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, SPF 15 or more, every day. Apply 1 ounce to your entire body 30 minutes before going outside, and reapply every 2 hours or after swimming or sweating.
☀️Swipe to see 2 of my favorite sunscreen brands, @supergoop and @beautycounter . Supergoop has an EWG rating of 2 ✅ and Beautycounter is EWG Verified (highest rating)✅. 

☀️Stay healthy! 🕶️
