Make it a Mexi Day!

We are having a Thanksgiving celebration today at work, but decided not to go the traditional turkey route since we'll all be experiencing our tryptophan coma's later this week. What is everyone's favorite office pot-luck pleaser? Mexican, of course!

For my contribution I decided to go with a mexican coleslaw. 


Ingredients:

  • 1 package slaw mix
  • 1 can corn {drained}
  • 1 can black beans {drained and rinsed}
  • 1/2 cup green onions
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 diced tomato
  • 1 cup spicy or jalapeno ranch dressing 

Throw it all together in a bowl and give it a good mix! I like to make it the night before and refrigerate so the flavors have time to really jive. It's great as a side or as a topping for tacos and such. 

Gobble! Gobble!

Comfort Food

It's Monday... again! How does the weekend fly by so quickly? Homecoming at KU was a blast, even though the Jayhawks lost, I was so happy to be surrounded by my best friends and fun family! Nothing could have made this weekend more fun. 


Not to say the fun we had this weekend wasn't worth it, but as much as we all tried to act like we were 21 again, we definitely don't bounce back like we did when we were 21. 

I think comfort food is in order for dinner. Here's what I'm going to whip up:


Found the recipe on my Pinterest, of course! Hope it's yummy!
