Feeling a Bit Español Today



Look at this monster. Can you believe I ate the WHOLE THING? I can't.

My digestion has been tops for the last three days. I'm pretty much beside myself with happiness. Theories on what's helping will come soon, as they always do. For now, let's talk food.

What the hell is this?

It's a BURRITO IN A BOWL! Courtesy of the "burrito in the bowl" place where my IBS-BFF took me in University City a couple months ago. Only the ingredients are somewhat different. My burrito is mostly vegetables. And I don't charge $2.50 for an extra shot of guacamole either.


The Contents
1 handful of spinach
1 giant button 'shroom
1 quarter of a giant tomato
1 handful of broccoli sprouts
1 handful of black beans
Enough guac to cover everything
Lemon
Salt
Pepper


The guac was made in the food processor. I used a whole avocado, a tablespoon of tahini, juice from half a lemon, and a little salt, pepper, and onion powder. Everything made to taste. 'Cos I don't mind my germs!

Whenever I express my love of the guac to anyone, the reply is always the same. "It's so fattening." The truth? Yes. It is.

This is how I make sense of the extra calories to myself. First, I don't give a fuck about calories. Second, I'd rather get my fat from a lovely green fruit than a block of cheese. Why are green fruits better than white cheeses? Well, if you have to ask... I'm going to have to write another blog.

O. M. G. Can you see the avocado fat just hanging off me???

Avocado's one of those fats that I don't worry about. It never shows up on the scale for me...cheese on the other hand, definitely does.

Super yum! I agree with Iris - you just have to see which fats don't show up on the scale for you. All fats are NOT created equal.

Qdoba has something similar which I had the other day when I thought I was gonna faint from hunger. Soooo much cheaper to make at home though. I'll have to try the avocado in the processor.

You look adorable!
