I am Sick of Being Sick + Yummy Burrito Bowls

April 16, 201418 Comments

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!

Easy and Healthy Burrito Bowls
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!

Ingredients for Burrito Bowls

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!
