Tacos and Shot Glasses
I am so into these blue corn chip taco shells – they’re delicious (and they’re organic)!
The trouble with tacos is that the stuffing always falls out – I figured out tonight that little shot glasses, turned upside down, are the perfect way to keep them in place. 
It’s pretty much the only use I have these days for our shot glass collection!
I stuffed the tacos with a black bean and sweet potato mix. I topped it with some Italian shredded cheese – yum!
On the side, fruit:
My afternoon was quite productive. I got a lot done on the book and I actually made it to Anatomy class! Go, me! I obviously sit in the back. 
We’re learning about urine right now, which is as exciting as it sounds.
However, being on campus gives me an opportunity to post Operation Beautiful notes:
Which is always fun!
My afternoon snacks included Stacy Pita Chips, salsa, and hummus (I had about twice the amount of chips shown – can’t keep my hands out of that bag!):
And ice cream. I must get out of the habit of having my dessert at 4 PM! A nutritious piece of fruit would be so much better.
Time for some So You Think You Can Dance? SYTYCD is definitely our favorite reality show of the moment, although we are also HUGE American Idol fans. I’m just a sucker for competition!

So when are you planning to move again?? Where are you moving to in South Carolina?? I really think it is cool that you are writing a book about a subject that many people are not really sure about, because everyone if beautiful no matter what their shape or size!!

Fruit would technically be better, but I am trying to get out of the habit of topping off the night with dessert so eating something sweet in the afternoon is helping me avoid night time eating

I can not get into any dancing shows. Singing–maybe, but not dancing.
And I can’t endorse Ortega, but their idea of flat-bottom taco shells was pretty genious…

Very creative idea for the shot glasses. I put votive candles in mine. I think this means we’re old!

I love that you eat ice cream at 4pm. I also LOVE blue corn chips/shells. I had some for breakfast today. Is that wrong?

I like your focused picture-taking face!
Great idea using shot glasses to hold up tacos — these days, we use ours to hold our wedding rings when we’re doing dishes! We’re definitely not in college anymore…

I love dancing competitions! They’re so much fun to watch!
American Idol is a classic though!!!
I agree about the flat bottom taco shells… genius!

A very creative use for shot glasses.
I don’t normally eat tacos, but I think the blue corn ones look a whole lot more interesting (and appetizing!). I totally empathize with you on the pita chip thing–so good, so hard to resist! I also don’t really see a problem with you eating ice cream at 4 PM. You ate fruit with your dinner instead of dessert, right? 
It all balances out.

I think you should turn those shot glasses over and fill them with tequila… that’s what we’d do if I was there.

Who needs ground beef for tacos when black beans sweet taters taste 10000000X better?
Oh, and urine sounds so engaging… (wink)
Have a great night!

My preferred ice cream eating time is at 10 at night. No clue why, but I love it.

I’m a HUGE DWTS (Dancing with the Stars) fan. It all started last winter when I was on a treadmill a few days a week to get out of the cold, and DWTS was on at the same time I was working out.

Have you tried the cinnamon-sugar flavored Stacey’s pita chips? They are so so so so good. Even harder to keep your hands out of the bag good. So try them… or don’t.

I love SYTYCD. I’m not a huge reality TV fan, but I like this show because it includes professionals who are already fabulous at their craft. Some of the dancing is amazing.
I must admit, I HATE dancing with the stars.
Good job getting to class.

You know I watched SYTYCD EVERY other season but this one! For some reason, the fall show just doesn’t work for me. I got hooked on The Biggest Loser and now I’m an addict. I do miss SYTYCD though. Except I always had to mute the TV when Mary comes on because she drives my husband crazy!

Good idea with the shot glasses. My little sister has a collection too
My aunt was trying to get me to watch SYTYCD last night but I was too busy catching up on Biggest Loser, haha.

Using shot glasses to hold up the tacos is just fantastic! And now I have a serious craving for tacos.

I have some of Stacy’s pita chips that I got at Costco and I can’t wait to try them with the new flavor of Sabra I found: Spinach and Artichoke.
