I actually got the driveway cleaned off by myself today! I ran out during "Cat in the Hat" and shoveled it all to the sides. Don't have a heart attack people, I stuck my head in the door to make sure all was legit about 20 times. Then I revved up the snow blower and cleared it all away. Go me! I followed this excitement up with an hour of play-doh play. I was ready to be done after 10 minutes. I didn't think I had a worse attention span than a 2 year old!!
Later, I was making lunch and a "burrito" was on the list. My initial thought "WAHOO, yumminess!!!!". Then I read the ingredients. Hmm, not so yum. On my tortilla was:
Tomato (a few slices down the middle)
Onion (slice)
Cheese (1/4 cup)
*Heat the above ingredients under the broiler until the cheese is melted, then add:
Avacado (1/4 of a whole one)
Lettuce (1 cup)
I HATE avocado. I figured this was going to be a disaster. I made it anyway and you know what? I liked it. I even ate the rest of the avocado and gave some to Girl too. She ate her slice but didn't want more. She had already had a ton of peas, cheese, and chicken nuggets so I wasn't surprised. This "burrito" was quite delicious and only 250 calories! I also added some raisins to my lunch. I had to sneak them though, otherwise Girl would want them all. They're her new favorite food. I didn't even let her have them until she was over 2 years old, but now that she's had them ... watch out and hide your raisins!
Back to the burrito talk. Don't get me wrong, this was no Chipotle. I LOVE their rice, sour cream, cheese, chicken filled love handles in a tortilla, but this healthy one wasn't too shabby. I would NOT call it a burrito but more of a warm wrap, but who am I to change the name of somebody else's creation? So overall, another lunch option and I can no longer say that I hate avocado.
The rest of the day should be just as uneventful as the morning! I have coloring, preschool learning books, and barbies on the list. After that 15 minutes is over, I don't know what we'll do. :)
