Scenes From a Kitchen: No Cook Mexican

So apparently my husband has been replaced with a health-conscious alien. Today is is birthday (happy birthday, Big Guy) and I guess it hit home that he's not as young as he used to be. During dinner a few days ago, he nonchalantly stated that we shouldn't eat so much meat (or meat-a according to Little Guy). I nearly choked.

You see, my husband is a big time crappy food lover. His loves include, but are not limited to, pizza, burgers, fries, soft drinks, crap, crap, and more crap, but these foods are directly at odds with his love of cycling. I'm assuming cycling has finally won, because the Big Guy wants to go Mediterranean, which means less meat, more veggies and low fat proteins. I almost cried. How long have I waited for this day? I've slowly been introducing meatless meals, fresh herbs, new veggies, etc. for months and he's eaten pretty much everything without complaining, but now he's finally on board. Bazinga.

So this was my answer for dinner last night. I call it authentic white people Mexican, or the constipation reliever. Take your pick.

Black Bean, Tomato, and Avocado Salad

1 can rinsed black beans

1 large tomato chopped

2 Haas avocados chopped

1/3 cup chopped cilantro

1/4 cup lime juice

salt and pepper

Mix together and serve

And that stuff was good. We had it with brown rice, mangoes, and fried bananas, and there were no leftovers. Enjoy!
