Hannah and I could literally have Mexican food every day and never get sick of it!  I decided to bake some taco bowls for tonights dinner – the bowls turned out perfectly – just baked at 350 for 15 minutes.  However, I decided to use the low carb, high fiber ones and while they held their shape, they weren’t crispy, just kind of chewy – I think I’ll stick to regular, smaller flour tortillas next time.

I sprayed with Pam and inverted onto an oven safe pyrex dish

After 15 minutes – they were done!  Let cool for 5 minutes before stuffing them.

Dinner comes in at 533 calories, 2 fat, 34 protein, 43 carbs and 10.4 fiber.  I also had a Sam Adam’s Summer Ale while Hannah and I were cooking – I ended up standing at the copier for a total of 5 hours so I felt I deserved it!

Hannah’s cleaning up the kitchen for me too – thanks Hanners!  Off to see what’s on the DVR.

Totally off topic, but I always think famous people die in three’s – this week:

  • Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson!

I think I feel the worst for Farrah Fawcett – she kind of died a slow death – did any of you see her documentary??  I thought it was facsinating.

Tomorrow is Friday and Jeans Day!  See you at breakfast! 😀
