Good Girl's Taco Bell
>> Thursday, September 24, 2009
I have a weird thing for bananas (TWSS). In all seriousness I just don't like plain bananas. They have to be frozen or in banana bread. So this morning I snacked a banana that I sliced and froze (and yes they're on a Christmas snowman/ snowflake plate, no shame).
I started out this morning doing some strength training, but it quickly turned into a long stretch and yoga session. My body just needed it. I kind of just did what felt good and natural, but I know it included some Eagle Pose, Downward Facing Dog, Half Moon Pose, a High Lunge variation, Warrior 2 Pose, and Tree Pose.
Afterwards I headed out for a hot and sweaty gym sesh! 15 minutes on the stair master followed by 30 minutes on the elliptical. Considering I went to the gym around noon, I was famished by the time I got back! While I was finishing up at the gym I dreamed up this "Good Girl's Taco Bell Taco Salad". :)
I took a La Tortilla Factory tortilla, draped it over a small dish and let it get crispy in the oven. Fill with romaine, salsa, avocado, and a mixture of nonfat refried beans and left over black beans. So delicious!
While fast food can be convenient, sometimes you can make something even tastier and way healthier at home. :)
Speaking of convenient fast food, remember that time I had an unwelcome experience at Moe's? I finally heard back from the company. The apologized and sent me a $15 gift card. Sometimes it's good to share your opinions!
Catch ya later!

My mom used to make tortilla bowls like that. Loved them. Your salad looks great!
Glad Moe's finally responded!
dude, i have a thing with bananas: i can't touch them without the peel on. won't do it.
I love making the "taco" bowls. They are so much fun to make and to eat!
That's great that Moe's appologized and offered something for your trouble. More companies should do this! It makes all the difference in the world when you have a bad experience.
Hope you're having a great week sweetie!
I really respect companies when they respond to negative criticism with a letter, a gift card or whatever. It really never hurts to speak up if you had a bad experience!
I totally used a Christmas dish towel today. :)
I really like the frozen bananas as a snack idea!
That salad looks delicious! I'm actually going to Taco Bell tonight since my husband wanted to eat out and I found some vegan options :)
I'm so glad you heard from Moe's and that they did the right thing. Yay!
Ahh, I never thought to make the taco salad "bowl" out of the tortillas! Such a good idea!! Thanks!
