Well can you believe that I have another cold?! Yes, I’ve now had three colds/flus in the past month! CrAzY!
I just have the typical head cold; sneezy, nose issues, head pressure, funny talking, etc. I feel just like one of the people on the NyQuil commercials.
Lovely.
I don’t think I’ve ever been sick this often in my life! Holy moly. I’m sure it’s a combination of my lame pregnancy immune system, lack of sleep, less than stellar food choices and the fact that my kids keep getting sick too!
Anyway, after I took the kids to school this morning, I was feeling very tired, blah and unmotivated. Consequently, I had this for breakfast…
Isn’t that awesome? It did make me feel better for about 2.5 seconds though. 😉
On a brighter note, I did go out to lunch with some good friends yesterday. We went to Red Robin and had such a nice time chatting. I love my friendsies so much!
I ordered the Red, White & Bleu salad and it was wonderful!
Oh, and my sweet friend told me that I hardly look pregnant and am not really even “showing,” which is a very nice thing to say to a pregnant lady, btw. HOWEVER, I informed her that I am most definitely “showing,” but she’s just not looking in the right places, lol!
My face has become very, very round and definitely looks to be about 6 months pregnant. 😉 It’s pretty crazy.
Oh, and Kev bought me flowers yesterday too. Isn’t that nice?
I have enjoyed them so much and I absolutely LOVE calla lilies! I just wish fresh flowers didn’t die so fast. 🙁
Anyway, I have a very yummy recipe to share with y’all tonight. It’s for Burrito Bowls and my whole family loves them so much! They are fairly easy to make, very healthy and extremely tasty. I also love to eat the leftovers for lunch!
Burrito bowls are made by stacking the following ingredients in this order (or any order you wish!)…
- Cilantro Lime Brown Rice
- Black beans
- Lettuce
- Pulled pork (you can also used grilled chicken or steak)
- Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, cheese, whatever other yummy things you want to add!
Yum! I like to place all of the ingredients out and let everybody make their own Burrito bowl however they like it!
You can make your own guacamole and pico de gallo if you wish, but I kept it simple and bought them. I also used this recipe for my pulled pork…
And this recipe for the Cilantro Lime Brown Rice.
Even though Burrito Bowls might sound a little “involved,” they’re actually quite simple. I just put the pork in the Crock Pot in the morning and the brown rice in the rice cooker on a timer later in the day.
Easy peasy.
I hope you all enjoy this recipe!
My kids are out on spring break the next few days and I’m so happy! I plan to sleep in a bit and just relax and play with the kiddos. We have a couple fun things planned for the long weekend as well.
I hope y’all have a great night!
I’ve had cilantro lime rice when I eat out – I need to try this recipe and make it at home! Flowers – how sweet and just what you needed! Get well soon!
I love cilantro lime rice and this recipe is so quick and easy! I really, really loved the flowers too. So sweet.
Ugh being sick is the WORST. I hateee it!! Bowl meals are my all time favorite, and so easy!
I KNOW! I’m so tired of being sick and hoping to feel 100% soon!
Sorry you aren’t feel very well AGAIN, ugh, that’s no fun! However, these burrito bowls looks amazing! I love stuff where you can put in all the toppings you want – exactly how you want it!
Thanks! I’m seriously hoping to get well soon and then stay that way! I really love the burrito bowls too!
Nice choice, Kev. Beautiful flowers. Sorry to hear you’re feeling sick again. Get well soon. Those burrito bowls look great.
I loved the flowers so much and thought it was so sweet of Kev. 😉 We love burrito bowls so much!
Being sick while you are pregnant is the worst! So Sorry!!
I agree! I am so so so sick of being sick. 🙁
Sorry you are not feeling well. Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks so much!
First of all, you’re awesome. Second, I am so sorry you’re sick!! Uggggh! Seriously, pregnancy is such an unfair time to be sick. Third, I PINNED the foodsies. Yum. can’t wait to get some Stubbs’s BBQ on my next walmart run. Our Sweet Baby Ray’s is going in the garbage. Sad to see it go, but it’s gotta happen. Why is there so much sugar in EVERYTHING!? Lame. Feel better soon!!
Thanks so much! I hope you love the recipes. I really love Stubb’s so much! I also love Sweet Baby Ray’s, but it makes me sad that it’s full of so much crap. 🙁
I love burrito bowls!!!
Pinned your rice recipe, too.
So sorry you are sick again – hopefully warmer weather will help!
I love Burrito Bowls SO MUCH and I hope you love the rice. I’m starting to feel a little bit better, thankfully. I’m just trying to pretend I’m not sick in hopes that my body will start to believe it.
So sweet of your hubby to bring you flowers! I hate how fast they die too. That cilantro lime rice looks and sounds fantastic. I made tonight something similar for dinner to your burrito thingys. Except instead of meat, I made some mexican spiced red beans and a bunch of roasted garlic potatoes, avocado, tomatoes and homemade flatbreads and put it all out the same way so people could serve themselves (family visiting right now for Easter). It was all so yummy.
By the way, I’m so sorry you are getting so many colds, but I’m sure you know girl that eating all that sugar just makes you that much more susceptible 🙁 Sugar just KILLS the immune system and your little body is working overtime already making that gorgeous baby. But with your new meal plan that you mentioned in the other post, should help out a lot! xx
Yum, your dinner sounds fabulous! I love flatbread, potatoes and avocado. YUM!
I know my sugar intake is not helping my immune system at all! I’m hoping to kick all these colds and feel 100% soon! I know eating a healthy diet with less sugar can only help. Fingers crossed!
