I need to invest in some light bulbs ASAP!
Between my living room and kitchen light fixtures, I currently have 6 light bulbs out. Let’s just say its a wee bit dark in here.
My apologies for the low lighting situation. I see a trip to Target in my near future. 
Dinner was a little experiment that didn’t go exactly as planned, but still came out tasty.
The goal was to make mini taco shell bowls using corn tortillas and a muffin pan. However, my corn tortillas were a bit past their prime and broke apart as I tried to form them to the muffin pan. I improvised by splitting a Flat Out wrap in half and making do.
The taco shells went under the broiler for 10 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised how well they held their shape.
I stuffed each shell with spinach, black beans, salsa, and plain yogurt.
They came out pretty tasty and were fun to eat with my hands.
On the side I had broiled some carrots with the shells
Take that Drive Thru Diet. 
Before I left work I snacked on a mini bag of kettle corn.
And dessert was a special treat courtesy of my dear friend VeggieGirl (Liz).
Holy Yum!
Could anything be better than a chocolate coated cookie? I think not!
Liz, thank you for being such a great friend. Please take all the time you need to focus on yourself. We will all be anxiously awaiting your return to the blogging world.

Those cookies look delicious! Trader Joe’s was selling dark chocolate covered peppermint Joe-Joe’s for the holidays, but I think I missed the chance to grab those
I’m obsessed with pop secret mini bags of popcorn. I have one almost every night.
Cute leaf plate! I need to invest in some cute, blog-worthy dishes!
Don’t forget to get halogen bulbs — they look the same as regular bulbs, last forever and bring your electric bill WAY down!
Remember that energy efficient bulbs are the way to go! :] Love the dinner – it all works out in the end. [:

You know, I just have bad lighting in general in my apt. It is really annoying. I have to take all of my food pics under the stove hood light. Adam and I a redoing the house we just bought and we are making sure to have good lighting!
Have a great night!
Love your dinner- it looks so delicious! Way better than Taco Bell, blech
Mini taco bowls — yum! And the chocolate covered cookies don’t look too bad either
Wow, your dinner looks awesome, I wish I had your food creativity! I think I’m going to try that tomorrow — I have all the ingredients! Thanks for the inspiration
You are so creative with your eats! I really need to start remembering all of the AMAZING things you make!
I love what you did with the wraps. I’ve never considered that. I’m stealing that idea! Awesome!
Your dinner looks SO good! I tried to toast some tortillas once in the toaster oven-NEVER DO THAT. I nearly burned my house down. It turned into a flaming disk-INSANITY.
WOW that chocolate cookie thing looks AMAZING and I 100% agree with your message to Liz.
Gah!!! Malleys is the BEST chocolate place in Cleveland! So glad Liz sent you some of the goods!
Haha, I had the exact same lightbulb situation happen to me immediately post vacation. I love that idea for dinner!
Chocolate covered cookies are my FAVORITE! Oh, the wonderful memories of eating those when I was a little girl…AND the improvised taco shells are an awesome idea! Thanks for all of the cook recipes you always post, i’m moving to China and will DEFINITELY be using some of them in my own cookin!
I’ve never though about broiling carrots! Carrots are my favorite vegetable. How long? What do they taste like? Thanks!!
oohh those cookies look good…I’m not usually a cookie girl (it’s all about the ice cream) but I think I’d make an exception for them!
Love your dinner too, that looks so fun! I need to pick up some creativity in my cooking from this blog
Have a great day!
OMG you’re right! What could be better than chocolate coated cookies? They look devine.
I love the taco bowls, so cute!
Malley’s is THEE chocolate of preference in these parts, as the headquarters are here in Cleveland. I can’t tell you how many boxes of Malley Ohs I have sold for school fundraisers over the years! They are fantastic!
I love tacos in all forms, I need to try these!
Those cookies look to die for!
Your dinner looks tasty!
haha awesome way to stick to the Taco Bell diet…that’s a really good idea with the muffin tins, never thought about it!
I’m always looking for a Target trip excuse
I WANT to run the Disney marathon. Does that count?
What do you think is the tastiest way to have brussel sprouts? I am trying to try a new veggie or fruit each month of this year and i have never tried brussel sprouts, nor do I know how to prepare them….I’ve seen you bake them before, do you add spices or just throw them on a pan?
