Mexican Grilled Cheese.

Who doesn't love a classic grilled cheese? Well, this isn't exactly a classic grilled cheese, but it's still really delicious. This Mexican Grilled Cheese creation came to life based on the ingredients I had in my fridge and my lack of desire to go to the grocery store. That being said, I ended up liking it so much I made it again the next night!

What you need....

• 2 slices of bread


• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped


• 2 slices Pepper Jack cheese


• 1 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened


• 1 teaspoon taco seasoning mix


• 1/2 cup salsa for dipping


• 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)


• 100 calorie pack wholly guacamole (optional)

How to make it....

Stir the taco seasoning and butter together until spreadable and smooth. Spread the butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a preheated pan over medium heat. Top with a slice of cheese, cilantro, and slices of jalapeño.

Place the remaining slice of bread, buttered side up, on top. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip, cooking until cheese is melted and bread is lightly browned.

Serve with salsa and guacamole for dipping.



I couldn't decide which one I liked dipping my sandwich in more, they were both so good!



I originally thought I'd be putting this under fat girl nomz, but once I added up all the calories I realized it really wasn't that bad!! 

So if you weren't convinced to give this a try before, now you don't have any reason not to! K, byeeee!

Garen's Salsa.

My best friend that I've known since pre-school just recently got married...and she looked absolutely stunning.



She married an equally handsome guy.



Meredith and her new husband Garen (still feels really weird to call him her husband) currently live in Atlanta, so my boyfriend and I made a trip down to visit them...and of course go to a Braves game!!

It wouldn't be appropriate to go to any major sporting event without throwing a proper tailgate...which brings me to the point of this post: Garen's Salsa. His homemade salsa recipe is only one of the many recipes that Garen's family shared with Meredith. If all of the other recipes are as good as this salsa, I'm going to need to visit them more often! The salsa recipe is very simple, but it's seriously the best fresh salsa I've ever tasted!

What you need...

• 8-10 roma tomatoes, diced


• 1 onion, diced (can add scallions too)


• 5 garlic cloves, minced


• 4-5 jalapeños, diced (remove seeds)


• Juice of 1 lime


• Add to taste: coarse salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper, and fresh cilantro

How to make it....

Uhhhh, that's easy...chop, dice, mince, squeeze, dice some more, and mix! If you have a food processor, obviously use that to cut down on the time it takes to cut everything up. This recipe yields....a giant bowl? If you're not feeding a crowd of twenty, you could stand to cut the recipe in half.

Serve with chips and a vodka watermelon and you'll be in tailgate heaven. K, byeeee!
