Chicken Burritos with Poblanos and Corn

Corn is full of carbohydrates, so corn (and peas) can no longer count as a acceptable vegetable side.  However, they can go into things, and this was a good thing to put it in.  So the roasted poblanos is really that expected flavor that you get in the standard Mexican restaurant.  This worked very well.  Could there be some things that are trimmed out?  Sure, but this worked.

A warm pan of Chickpeas, Chorizo, and Chevre

Simple, and good.  I thought I had chorizo, but didn't, so I used some spicy Italian sausage, which worked.  I may have forgotten to add the chevre, but I did use it with the burritos...

Mortadella Reubens with Lemon Aioli

OMGWTFBBQ!  This was amazingly good.  To be fair I used some really excellent ingredients.  Iowa Sourdough from Wild Yeast Bakery, Fresh eggs (from young hens) from Grade A Gardens, Blue Earth Brie (Minnesota), some fine quality Mortadella (not sure from where, but bought at the cheese shop, so you know it's good), and some Sauerkraut from The Brinery.  I added some pickles to mine as well, but overall, wowza.  

Stir Fried Sichuan Green Beans

Probably should've been served over rice, but didn't.  Even so, this made for a filling, tasty, low carb meal.

Hot Chicken Salad

This was...quite tasty, but really not good for you in the slightest....but really tasty...  Shannon and I had a dispute over the last serving of it (she won).  I cooked the chicken myself, but beyond that this was easy to put together, but did take a while (of non-active time) to cook.
