Almost A Repeat Dinner

Last night I filled up on salad and the bread seen below and my sauce that I had simmered and slaved over in my weakened state was not used.

No worries though. I poured it into a jar and refrigerated it for an easy dinner tonight!

Ciabatta bread and Oliveri's Roasted Garlic and Asiago Cheese "Medallion" Ravioli .

I could hug this bread.

OH! Hello there tomatoes and baby sunflower plant.

I used the tomatoes for the sauce and left baby sunflower plant alone. It is growing like crazy! There are three plants in that little glass container . I never imagined it would actually grow considering it was one of those dollar deals at the dollar store.

Guess I need to go to Home Depot.

I chopped the aforementioned tomatoes and added them to a hot pan with sunflower oil .

Then I took this guy ,err clove of garlic and chopped it and added it to !

Aren't they so cute?

So tiny , I didn't even have to slice most of them.

They are just like regular white mushrooms but petits.

And yes , horrible manicure and sick looking hand is there for size comparison , not for the vanity factor.

How could I reach for a jar when these two were begging to be sliced and chopped and well , killed I guess .

The tomatoes and garlic simmering .

Bliss!

Well , that's all I ve got . Back to more highlighting and Celeb Rehab watching .

Not Taco Hell

For dinner tonight, I choppped up some of these :

Sweet onions, tomatoes-on-the-vine, lettuce and baby spinach.

I was seriously wanting soft tacos. I fear the evil that is Taco Hell so i went to the grocery store for some fresh tortilllas and used these ingredients from home :

Mexican rice, extra lean ground beef cooked w/ a PC taco seasoning packet ,Kraft Mexican Cheese ( i have yet to see organic or "natural" versions pop up at the stores I frequent ) and some Newman's Own Original Salsa.

I've heard amazing things from so many bloggers about Newman's Own products. I don't see many of their products at the stores I shop at but they do have a whole shelf in the Mexican section! Has anyone tried the Mango salsa? The Blackbean?

I slapped together a "wrap" as I call it with some rice , sour cream and the cheese. I am not one for vegetables on my wraps or soft tacos as I do not like the idea , taste or feel of warm lettuce and I really hate raw tomatoes and onions.
