veggie nachos

We love nachos but we know the chips are not the best thing for our waistlines. Here's a great alternative to nachos for gameday... or any day! I promise, the only thing under all the cheese is veggies!

12-15 mini bell peppers, halved and seeded

1c succotash mixed vegetables

1c black beans, rinsed and drained

1 tomato, diced

1-2c grated cheese

Preheat oven to 400. Line oven safe dish with bell peppers. Mix together vegetables, beans, and tomato. Fill peppers with mixture. Top with cheese. Bake until golden brown. Enjoy (and feel less guilty) while watching some football!

InstaFriday

Happy Friday! It's been a busy week (like always) and hopefully it will end with a productive weekend. I have an exam to study for... and it appears as though my studying will be completed indoors as tropical storm Karen is headed our direction bringing an excess of rain all weekend. We will make the best of it and just find things to do inside.

Here's a few great parts of my week:

1. Check out this cute pie! We spent Saturday afternoon watching football with friends and their little one. I love her hair!

2. Programming + MatLAB is getting easier.... I think. I did make this happen then transposed a bunch of other graphics on to it using Inkscape. Small successes can be a big deal sometimes.

3. This week we made sautéed leeks and chorizo sausage then added eggs on top. It was delish! And so simple too!

4. The scrubs are officially purchased. Actually, I am wearing them right now as I am going to work later this morning. I do not know a ton about my job yet but I am excited to learn more what what my responsibilities will include.

Have a great weeknd! If you are near us, stay dry! If you are somewhere sunny, get outside and enjoy the sunshine!

Did you notice something new on the right side of my blog this week? Go take a peek --->

I applied to be an ambassador for Bonlook (referral link) last week and was accepted! I have worn reading glasses for a long time and know its an easy way to change my look (especially if I have to wear purple scrubs everyday). Here are a few pairs I have been eyeing:

Dylan - Marlowe - Waverly - Dylan - Honeybadger

If you need new glasses, you should go check out Bonlook. They have great styles and a virtual stylist to help you pick the best shape for your face! I am thinking I like the pair in the top left best.
