Chipotle's Braised Tofu Sofrita


Today’s fast food idea is something totally new and exciting coming from Chipotle. If you haven’t heard about this fast food chains newest menu item, then you will love this. (:

Chipotle recently released the new Braised Tofu Sofrita, which they have advertised as being vegan.

In fact, they claim it is so delicious that both vegans and carnivores will unite to enjoy this dish.

The chain is using organic tofu from Hodo Soy, which they have shredded and cooked with varying peppers and spices.

I have yet to try one of these delicious looking creations, but I definitely plan to very soon & when I do I will definitely post a review to let you know what I think! (:

Have you tried this new Chipotle dish? Are you going to? 

As of now, this dish is not available everywhere so check out the Chipotle website to see if it is available in a restaurant near you!

Update!!

SO, looking at the pictures on Chipotle's website were just too tempting. I gave in a went to my local restaurant. (: 


My usual order is the veggie bowl, but tonight I got the Sofrita Bowl. 

IT WAS DELICIOUS!! 

The Sofrita was spicy and the texture was the perfect touch to the vegetables  and beans in my bowl. 

Here is a close up of the Sofrita: 


Another exciting thing I learned in my Chipotle adventures is that the pinto beans are now being made with a new recipe that doesn't contain pork. 

This means that both the black beans and the pinto beans are now vegan! 

I fully recommend that you get yourself to a chipotle asap. (:

5 Can Salsa.


I apologize in advance for how late this post is, but hopefully you will find that it was worth the wait. (:

Tonight I had several friends come over to watch the Halloween Episode of Pretty Little Liars and the world première of Ravenswood. So, I got distracted making snacks and preparing for them to come over.

So tonight, I’m going to break my routine and instead of talking about  a fast food chain I’m going to show you an awesome dip I made to share.

This recipe actually comes from some friends of mine and after eating this once at their house, I had to have the recipe.

This salsa is AMAZING.

5 Can Salsa

Ingredients:
1 can of black beans
2 cans of Rotel Tomatoes
1 can of shoepeg corn (if you can’t find shoepeg substitute with white corn)
1 small onion
Corn chips

Directions:
1. Open can of black beans, drain, and pour into a large bowl.
2. Next open and mix in the cans of tomatoes and corn.
3. Dice the small onion and add in.
4. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
5. Serve with corn chips.

This is a great recipe for any get together, including tailgates, house parties, and even potluck dinners. This appetizer is simple, quick, and easy but at the same time it is still full of flavor!

If you try this recipe, let me know what you think!

Did you guys watch PLL or Ravenswood tonight? What did you think?

Hit the Spot Fries!


When I am looking for a quick snack, whether it be late night or while I’m out running errands, my go to fast food snack is the Natural Cut Sea Salt French Fries from Wendy’s.  They satisfy the need for something salty, they are quick, and they are cheap. It’s the snack food tri-fecta.

If you have never tried them, you definitely should. I like to eat mine with Sweet and Sour Sauce, but they are good plain or with catsup too!

 If you have tried them, do they hit the spot for you too? 

As always, check us out on facebook so you can keep up with our new posts. :)
