Forgive me foodies, for I have sinned. LOL

I know I always preach the evils of processed foods, but last night I made burritos the way I used to make them long ago. It's just a taste I have to have every great once in a while. It wasn't all processed but it certainly was good. :9

I browned a pound of ground buffalo with salt, pepper, and garlic. Stirred in a half can of refried beans, they were Amy's Organic Black Beans, and added about a 1/3 to 1/2 cup of Pace medium salsa. This is my favorite burrito filling. And I made a pouch of Knorr's Fiesta Sides Spanish Rice with a few shots of Frank's Red Hot. Usually I make long cooking rice and just stir in some salsa but I do like the taste of this once in a while.

Everything else that went into the burritos were fresh (onions, tomatoes, lettuce, yogurt for sour cream)except the sliced black olives and the shredded sharp cheddar, and I made some homemade fresh guac. We're having the leftovers tonight. :9

1. Oh my, if that's a sin, I'm certainly going to hell

When I cook like that, I consider it homemade!

19. BRAVO, 157099!!!

:rofl:

2. I'm sure you are forgiven....

But you do know that those Knorr Rice Mixes are the slippery slope to Sandra Lee town.

:hug: :hug: :rofl: :hug: :hug:

3. Oddly enough

she did cross my mind while I was cooking this last night. :rofl:

4. Oh, please, it's not like everybody who posts here

doesn't crack once in a while and eat Kraft Dinner right out of the pot, all of it, in one sitting.

Our bodies are built to handle dreck if we don't eat it every single day.

6. I was really kinda being facetious, Warpy.

;)

5. It sounds delicious.

You're forgiven.

:D

[hippywife]

7. Oh, thank goodness!

I thought I was condemned to Hell's Kitchen or re-runs of Iron Chef. :rofl:

[Beacool]

18. LOL!!!

:rofl:

8. You know, I haven't

had a burrito in a long time. Just saying! ;-) (hint; any leftovers?) ;-)

[hippywife]

9. Yes!

There are. We ate more last night. You better get here before we finish them up for lunch today. :hi:

10. I think what you did was okay

as long as you ground the beef by hand. B-)

[hippywife]

12. You seelee!

[yellerpup]

14. Not a secret.

Unfortunately....:pals:

[hippywife]

15. It's not like it's a bad thing.

It's a very good thing in my book.

[yellerpup]

16. I love your attitude!

:loveya: And, I want a signed copy of YOUR book!

[hippywife]

17. Not really sure I have anything

worth reading at the moment. ;)



(But I am waiting for yours, most definitely.) :hug:

20. ...

11. Speaking of sinning...

How about the crime wave against the culinary arts occurring at state fairs?:

13. You know, the thing I worry about

is kids. Adults know this is really stupid eating. But how many of the once rare fair foods like corn dogs and such are now in your grocer's freezer? I wonder how long before there are KK burgers there, too. With KK having financial difficulties for a few years now, you know someone there is considering it.


Luther Vandross has been dead now for five years and this was his equivalent of Elvis' peanut butter and nana sammich so it's nothing new. It's just been given new wings, unfortunately, by people out to make a buck.

21. Can funnel cake sloppy joes be far behind?

It seems no combination is too gross to be considered.

And good point on the frozen food aspect. It seems like more and more fast food chains are making it easy to clog your arteries from the comfort of your own kitchen. Blech.

[japple]

22. I thought you were going to say you bought some more stuff from Goodwill

online.

Now, these burritos sound pretty good to me. Is it the canned beans and Knorr your're feeling guilty about? If so, just cut it out. Oh, and say three hail marys.

[hippywife]

23. Don't even mention that! LOL

I have not even pulled that site up in months. I know I'd be a goner if I did. :rofl:

I guess the dinner wasn't so bad, just a few items that were processed...so I'm skipping the Hail Marys, k? ;)

Reading a great book right now that I think you would absolutely love! Check out the what are you reading this week thread. :hi:
