a guide to food and cooking with ease

list #1: mexican food and green smoothies

March 5, 2017 by Lea Leave a Comment

This week I wanted to make a big salad that requires little cooking. I was feeling like Mexican, so I made a taco salad type of creation. Using the ingredients I got for the salad, I also made my easy huevos rancheros recipe. Using the eggs, I was able to prepare hardboiled eggs for workweek ease and fry them for the huevos rancheros. I also made sure to buy enough greens to make green smoothies for breakfast. Using the ingredients in multiple ways saves time, space, and money.

  • kale [$3]
  • spinach [$4]
  • bell peppers (2) [$3]
  • red onion (1) [$1]
  • zucchini (1) [$2]
  • pinto beans (1 can) [$.99]
  • whole wheat tortillas (1 bag) [$3]
  • eggs (1 dozen) [$3]
  • salsa (1 jar) [$3]
  • avocados [$5]

What you get:

  • easy taco salad bowl
  • tortilla chips and bean dip
  • easy huevos rancheros
  • easy peanut butter cup smoothie
  • healthy breakfast burrito
