It’s hard to cook a healthy meal at home when the kitchen is under construction. Michael did a great job finishing the tile install. Unfortunately, we couldn’t move the fridge back in place for at least 24 hours. Instead of cooking the whole chicken I bought we went out to dinner. I was craving Mexican food like mad so we went to the Iron Horse Mexican Restaurant in Sellwood. It was on the way to our friends’ house too so that worked out nicely.
It’s a good family restaurant and the food is almost always good. I munched on chips and salsa. I’d burned a lot of calories Saturday morning and I had waited too long to eat anything. I should have had a snack mid-afternoon. I’ve been known to eat chips and salsa for dinner back in my single girl days.
I ordered a shredded beef burrito. I asked for black beans instead of refried beans.
I love sour cream. I have no idea why I love it so much but I could seriously put sour cream on everything.
The burrito was stuffed and gooey, with a fantastic red enchilada sauce. I had a nice glass of Cabernet with dinner.
The burrito was so filling. There was tons of cheese too. A gluttonous amount to be honest.
I devoured most of the burrito and rolled myself out of the restaurant.
We went to our friends’ house to hang out for the evening. They just returned from their honeymoon in Newcastle, England and had tons of pictures to share. I went to London when I was 18 and it was by far one of the best vacations I’ve ever had. London is the coolest city in the world. Our friends went to Newcastle (pretty far away from London) but they loved it. They checked out the soccer stadium there, got a tour and even enjoyed a game. The pictures were fun! I drank two Pumpkin beers at their house:
My friend Erika made scrumptious carrot muffins with cream cheese frosting.
I only ate one–even though I really wanted to eat two. She sent us home with a few cupcakes and they are very dangerous things in my house!
There’s nothing better than Mexican food (and dessert). š
QUESTION: What was your favorite eat this weekend?

I loooove Mexican food too and I have such a hard time not eating all of the chips and salsa. I made a delicious bean and veggie stew over the weekend in my crockpot that I’m having for lunch today again and it was SO good, can’t wait for lunch time!

I’ve made tortilla soup before and it was fantastic!

I adore mexican food and I agree, it’s just not the same without sour cream!
Julie
I love Iron Horse. I always eat too many chips and salsa and end up taking most of my meal home to eat later š
My favorite food this weekend was mom’s lat night s’ghetti after the game.

Taking half of it home is a good idea and something I *usually* do….except with Mexican food! It’s so hard for me to stop eating it.
Sabrina
WOW! You just pictured all my favorites in one blog…. Mexican (sour cream included), Pumpkin Ale, and the cupcake. Yummy! My weekend food does not compare to yours. I have not had Mexican since getting serious about losing weight but now I feel a craving on its way!! :o)

Mexican food is something I try to resist because I would seriously eat it every single day. š Once in awhile it’s a good treat!

We had so much good food when we were in Lake Powell! My favorite had to be the sweet pork burritos that my Aunt made…delicious! I ate way more than I should have!

Oh what a weekend I’ve had: a Brie grilled cheese with sliced pears and honeyed walnuts on Friday. A Dodger Dog and loaded nachos at the game on Saturday (thanks for a great season, boys!) and my mom’s Baja fish tacos for Sunday dinner.
I don’t do that very often and today I’m going to leave those calories on the running trail. But it’s so worth it sometimes.

Wow that sandwich sounds epic! I would love to try it!

I love sour cream, too. Funny how when I was little, I hated sour cream and cream cheese. I don’t know what was wrong with me LOL!
Best food I had all weekend was probably BBQ ribs on Saturday night.
