Vegan night

My husband came to me a bit ago and said he wanted to be a vegan. I of course laughed because he is your typical southern man: he loves his meat and he loves it smothered in BBQ sauce. Nevertheless, I opted to take him seriously and try slowly introducing him to a meat free night of tasty food.

I made black beans and rice with corn tortillas. These were delicious, simple and even I didn't miss the cheese.



Vegan black beans:

2 cans of vegan black beans
1 cup of red, orange, yellow or green bell peppers diced (I used a combination of all four)
1 /2 cup of onion, diced
2 tbsp garlic powder (you can adjust to your desired amount of garlic)
1 tsp lime juice
salt and pepper to taste

Mix the above ingredients together in a pot. Let heat on medium for about 10 minutes, stirring often.

Take a corn tortilla and spread with your favorite hummus. Top with rice and black beans. Add guacamole.

You can also add salsa if you prefer.

Yeah yeah it has been awhile, suck it.

Eff me it has been too long yet again. I do this to myself every time. I promise I will blog more and then I don't. Want to know why? Because I have a baby that is why. A baby that refuses to sleep! Have you seen the book go the F*ck to sleep? No, well I have and it is my freaking mantra right now. I love my kid. He is cute, he makes amazing funny faces but dammit I like my sleep and cannot for the life of me figure out why he hasn't gotten on that bandwagon too. I silently say it to myself over and over. Go the f*ck to sleep, go the f*ck to SLEEEEEP. I am pretty sure if I even attempted to say this out loud he would give me this face:


                                                         "Momma, I will knock you out!"

For serious though, PLEASE, please go to sleep child. Uuugh I know he can't help it. Devil be damned he is getting teeth. At least two and with my luck probably more. My usually sinfully sweet child has become a raging dragon. So reminiscent of his momma when she is ragging. Yupp. A hormonal beast who will chew you up and spit you out faster than you can blink. I suppose this is karma for being such a raging whoore to my husband at least once a month. The penis brigade is out to get me. Eff my life.

So I guess I am just going to stop promising that I will update you with every time I wipe my kids ass and every new blah blah he blurbs and just suck it up and tell you the truth. I will get to it when my kid finally learns to go the f*ck to sleep. Or better yet when my darling husband learns to wake his ass up from his nap and give me some mommy time. I know he works hard but dammit does he not realize I am a MOM and that job totally trumps whatever he does at his "job." Just kidding dear I love you.

Seriously, though....mommy time? Can I haz it!!?
