My family and I love making vegetarian tacos for lunch or dinner. They’re so quick and easy to prepare, not to mention delicious.

Ingredients:

Tortilla wraps (we used Trader Joe’s Whole Wheat Olive Oil Wraps)

Sour cream

Refried beans

Onion, bell peppers — chop and sauté in a pan with a little bit of EVOO, salt, and pepper

Diced avocado, sliced black olives, lettuce

Salsa, shredded cheese

We like to heat up the wrap in the microwave for a few seconds, slather on some sour cream, and then pile on the toppings. Homemade tacos are the best.

All food companies are the same in two respects. It doesn’t matter whether you see them as junk-food sinners or health-food saints. It doesn’t matter whether they manufacture Twinkies on a mile-long production line or hand-form organic soy burgers to sell in the Williams-Sonoma catalog.

They all have this in common: First, they don’t care if you eat the food, as long as you repeatedly buy it. Second, they want to make a profit.

No food company is in business to make us fat, they’re in business to sell us food. If we want fattening food to mindlessly eat, companies will fix it. But they will also fix us healthy food that we can mindfully eat if they can profitably do so.

Another delicious breakfast this morning….I added 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and berries to the mix. The cottage cheese, surprisingly, is quite good in oatmeal. Never would’ve paired the two, but I think I got the idea from katheats. It adds a nice rich & creamy flavor and texture to the oatmeal. A great way to add in extra protein & calcium, too.

1 cup cooked oatmeal — 2 servings grain/starch 

1/2 cup almond milk, 1/4 cup cottage cheese — 1 serving dairy

1 cup berries — 1 serving fruit
