My Burrito Turned Inside-Out ... and then it exploded!

My Burrito Turned Inside-Out … and then it exploded!

Ingredients
1 cup chopped onion (this was 1 medium onion and half a leftover onion for me)
4 oz can jalapenos, drained and quartered, de-seeded if you are a wimp
4 cloves garlic, minced
Some olive oil - maybe a tablespoon?

2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
2 cups frozen corn
1/2 cup frozen green peppers

2 15-oz cans black beans, drained, rinsed if you can be arsed (I can’t)
2 15-oz cans fire-roasted tomatoes NOT drained or rinsed or anything beyond unlidded

2 cups vegetable broth (I use water + 2 tsp Better than Bouillon vegetable)
1 1/2 cups quinoa, well rinsed

Cheese for topping
At least one egg for topping (I am a greedy man, so I like two eggs)


Instructions
- Chop, quarter, and mince the onion, jalapenos, and garlic, respectively.
- In a big ol’ soup-pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion, jalapenos, and garlic to the pan. Toss ‘em around some to coat them in oil.
- PUT THE LID ON THE PAN. Otherwise, you’ll stop breathing, and it’ll be bad.
- Let those cook for about 2 minutes, then unlid the pan and stir. Re-lid the pan for another 2 minutes.

- Open and drain/rinse the beans during this time. Open the tomatoes, too, but don’t drain them.
- You can also measure out your corn and spices now, if you’d like.

- Mix the chili powder, cumin, corn, and green pepper into the onion/jalapeno/garlic mixture.
- Add the beans and tomatoes. Mix.
- Add the broth.
- Rinse the quinoa and add it in there, too.

- Bring that nonsense to a boil, then drop it to a simmer.
- Simmer 10 minutes, lidded, then stir it and simmer 15 minutes, lidded.

- Remove from heat and let stand while you prepare the eggs.
- In a small skillet, heat a teaspoon of olive oil over high heat.
- Crack an egg into the skillet. Dump in a bit of water - maybe 1/8th a cup? - in with the egg. Then lid that shit.
- Wait for Satan to stop hosting a rave in the skillet (about 2 minutes, maybe less?)
- While that’s happening, serve your lunch into a cereal bowl. Top it with cheese.
- Lift the lid and poink the egg-white with a spatula. If it’s not liquid, you’re good to go.
- Serve that on top of the quinoa-cheese bowl thing you’ve got going on. And you’re done.

Pesto Pizza Monkey Bread

This recipe has been almost entirely copied from this amazing site , but I'm putting it here because a) things have a tendency to disappear off the internet, and b) I made a few modifications, and since the outcome was so unbearably tasty, I'd like to have a record of what I did so I can do it again. This recipe is not good for you . This is one of those recipes that's all "you bike 60+ miles a week and eat fresh veggies all the time, so you can probably survive this." It's really worth it. Which is good, because I'm going to need  to make this recipe, probably more than a few times a year. I'll say it makes 8 servings, but they're large servings. It'd make an excellent snack for guests (we're thinking it'll be nice to make when my mother-in-law visits, for example, because after the long train-ride, she always wants to just eat a little something and drink until she forgets how many hours she's spent on a train) but it also mad...

Nice Day for a Vegan Wedding

You know that vegan cooking has arrived when a pair of non-vegans do a cake taste-test for their wedding cake and decide that the vegan cake option is, hands-down, the BEST cake out of all the options.  Like, nobody cares that it's vegan, so much as they care that it's just plain delicious.  Which it is, really -- dense and not too sweet, but very vanilla-y, a perfect offset to the sweetness of  the best-ever cream cheese vanilla buttercream frosting  I smeared all over it.  Oh, and because it's so dense, we had no problems at all with the wedding cake trying to tip over, despite being three layers tall, made taller by the amount of frosting I shoved between the layers. Yup. The groom's cake , on the other hand, was completely, unnecessarily vegan, frosted with a vegan tofu chocolate frosting that defies description, it's so tasty.  One batch of the stuff was enough to frost 6 cupcakes and thickly frost the moustache cake and still have probably half ...

Pescatarian Surf 'n Turf

In case it's not been made ABUNDANTLY clear, I am 100% in love with my veggie noodle spiralizer , which was initially an impulse buy that I regretted so much that I ignored it for ... six months? before trying it out. Yes, I am regretting those six months, why do you ask. Anywhatsit, I've used the thing like six times in the past three days and have absolutely no intention of stopping any time soon. It's like I'm able to eat food again, but without all the bloating and sluggishness that usually comes with pasta. It's liberating. I am in love. This is THE PERFECT summer dish to prepare on a work-night because it takes very little actual active time to make, giving you plenty of time to shower and stuff. Oh, and it's not hot and heavy (*sner*) so it's good to eat when the outdoors is trying to act like an oven. Give it a go!
