When I cook something unfortunate or something that didn't work for me I'm going to post it and link to the recipe in case you want to give it a try and in the hopes you'll have better luck cooking it than I did. Maybe you will cook it and love it then tell me where I went wrong. I make plenty of mistakes I just don't usually take the time to post about them unless they are particularly epic.
And when I make something fabulous that was amazing but the recipe was perfect I'll just do an easy cheater post and point you in the direction of the talented blogger that created it. This Mexican salad which is a knock off of a dish at Chipotle restaurant is a perfect example. It comes from the Healthy Irishmen Blog where chef Gavan Murphy, and sometimes his wife, post fabulous healthy recipes using fresh organic produce. They have some great recipes to browse through and aside from the potato and bread dishes most of his recipes are French diet friendly.
The recipe for Vegetarian Mexican Salad is especially worth checking out. This is the kind of salad that always looks appealing at restaurants but I never think to try to make at home where I can control the fat and salt content. Now that I know how I will be making this beauty all summer. The super spicy and tangy dressing is my favorite part but if you aren't into breathing fire you'll want to take the amount of peppers down a notch. I also cheated to make this salad even easier by buying some jarred salsa (because the fella won't eat raw tomatoes and I was lazy), mashing an avocado on my lettuce rather than making guacamole, and then sprinkling organic canned corn and some cilantro on the salad rather than making the corn salsa. And if you're on the weight loss phase you'll want to skip the corn all together since it has a high GI but there are so many other tasty things on this salad you won't be missing anything.
