Cooking February 27, 2012

Today was a cold and rainy Monday in Durham. While I really wanted to lay on the couch all day, there’s nothing worse than an unproductive Monday. I did two loads of laundry, straightened up the apartment, finished up a project I was helping my mom with, and had a partner’s meeting about an event I’m helping coordinate. And, I made enchiladas! This sweet potato and black bean combo is one of my favorite dinners. Matt’s eyes lit up when they came out of the oven!

I used salsa verde instead of red enchilada sauce this time, and liked it a lot better.

Is anyone watching the bachelor? As a hotel lover, I’m obsessed with the Swedish suites. And how cute is that tiny barrel hot tub?

After a busy weekend, it’s nice to have a somewhat slow week ahead. How was your Monday?

    I definitely had a case of the Mondays! Usually I’m psyched for the start of the week but not today. But my sister and I decided to take the dogs on an evening walk , which perked us up a bit 🙂

      Walks are the best, but I’m never motivated to start them!

    I lived in Switzerland for a while so it’s fun to see the beautiful scenery again. Makes me wish I was still there! Maybe not with a guy who has multiple girlfriends, though…

    Agreed!! Today was super dreary in Durham though it was a busy Monday in the lab for me. Hoping for a slower day tomorrow- so much to catch up on in the old lab notebook.

    The Bachelor this season is absolutely redic but I can’t help but watching! I really wish I hadn’t read the spoilers earlier in the season because I’m so mad about his decision…

    I had printed this recipe before hoping to try it but I’ve never actually had butternut squash. I think I’ll do the sweet potato instead.. they look so good.
