Is it just me, or is it too hot to cook dinner tonight?
Instead of making a real dinner, I took the easy way out and whipped up a huge batch of black bean salsa, with corn and avocados. There’s protein, vegetables and grains if you include the chips.
Yep, chips and salsa baby, that’s what we are having.
What is on YOUR dinner plate tonight?

We got some corn on the cob from Rosauer’s on sale 5/$1. Grilled it up tonight. And it was not good. At all. So I’m taking it off the cobs and going to do something close to this for tomorrow – don’t like black beans, but I have others (free with the Essential coupons). It’s hotter than hell here. Blah.

I’m going to badger you until you do it: MAKE A RECIPE INDEX, GIRLFRIEND!

Yes, please! We had this recipe over the summer and it was fabulous. I wanted to make it again, but forgot to print it out the first time. I almost panicked until I finally scrolled/paged enough to find it again. Whew!
