we all know how much i love tacos (please reference the evidence of my love for tacos here, here, here, and here). tacos are always my go-to meal, and it’s rare that a week goes by when we don’t have some version of tacos on the dinner list. do you have a go-to meal, dear readers? one that you never get sick of eating? what is it?

ok, i know what you’re thinking: “really, emilie, you’re posting a recipe for salad??” but this is a really good salad. i might be biased, because it contains basically all of my favorite taco toppings into a salad form with a great citrusy dressing. but i think it’s absolutely delicious.

about a month ago, mike and i hosted a movie club night at our place. we decided to make tamales and black beans for our friends (i know, i know: where’s the tamale recipe? it’s coming soon, i promise). after our friends had eaten their fill, we had a lot of black beans left over from the feast. i mean A LOT. plus, we had some extra salsa, corn, zucchini, and avocado. and we had a ton of quinoa left from making these quinoa cakes the week before. so what are two people who hate to throw food away going to do with that situation? make hippie bowls!
one of my close friends gifted me the smitten kitchen cookbook (thanks, lis!) waaay back in november, and i’ve been trying to decide which recipe i should begin with ever since then. does this happen to any of you, dear readers? when gifted with an amazing cookbook, i often suffer temporary paralysis, wherein i can’t decide which recipe to make first because they all look so delicious. so the cookbook just sits, often open, on my nightstand until i finally pick the first recipe (this happened with both of the cookbooks from 101 cookbooks, plus the moosewood cookbook). or maybe it’s just me?
