A few months ago T was watching an episode of "Raising Hope" and the couple were trying to discover a new hobby that they could share together. T immediately paused the show, looks at me and proclaims, "we need a couple's hobby!" We decided that we'd pick one new recipe each week and cook it together. We've had some really great dishes, have discovered new foods, and it's been a great bonding experience for us. I thought that it'd be really fun to share our cooking adventures with you!
In addition to trying something new, we've also been making an effort to eat one vegetarian meal for dinner each week. We thought this would be a great idea because it's not only a healthy option, but also a great way to help cut back on our grocery budget....and who's going to argue with that?!
Last night we made our new recipe for the week and also made it a vegetarian option. T found our recipe this week, which was Smoky Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos. Here is a link to the recipe http://www.howsweeteats.com/2012/12/embarrassingly-easy-smoky-sweet-potato-and-black-bean-tacos/
We made a few adjustments to the recipe because we didn't have everything. We used a different type of cheese for the topping and I didn't have adobo sauce, so we just used a little chili powder. We also tossed in some diced zucchini into the mix because one of T's coworkers gave him two huge zucchini from his garden, so we're trying to get creative with ways to use it all.
Here's the mix in the skillet, almost ready!
We used flour tortillas to make tacos with the mix and topped it with the Chipotle Lime Crema, some cilantro and fresh lime juice.
It was an excellent dinner and T said that we definitely need to add it into our dinner rotation. That's code for, "I really like it!"
