Ben reached a new level of oh-no-you-didn’t! tonight. Left to purchase our standard Sunday night Chipotle dinner alone (I was deeply engrossed in an all-day Jersey Shore marathon at home, you see)
he went a little crazy and purchased a burrito bowl "upgrade kit." Yes an UPGRADE KIT, otherwise known as a kids taco meal which comes with mini cups of rice and beans that he used to "plump" his bowl up with. BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
He claims he really purchased the upgrade for me, because he knows how much I like to eat my burrito bowl with chips, but once I start on a big bag it’s hard to stop.
The kid’s meal comes with a tiny bag of 10-or-so chips though, which he thought would be just perfect for me.
And it totally was!
Just enough of those lime & salt sprinkled, super crunchy chips to satisfy, but not stuff.
I swear to you, the burrito bowl tastes SO much better with them!
By the way, I think I’m going to start getting my burrito bowl meatless because the chicken I usually get has been a little suspect the past few times I’ve had it. Lots of extra fat and like, tendons, or something. Yuck.
Tonight I just picked around it, as we ate our bowls picnic-style on the floor. 
It’s too bad they don’t sell those baby bags of chips by themselves because, judging from the food coma Ben is currently suffering from, I’m thinking that will be the last burrito bowl upgrade kit he will be purchasing for awhile! 
In other news, I am in a fantabulous mood because I have the day off tomorrow! It’s a good thing too because I was way too busy doing nothing today to get anything done around the house. Sometimes you just need days like that though.
Have a good night!

What’s your most hated household chore? What don’t you mind doing?
I cannot do bathrooms, and I despise unloading the dishwasher. I love vacuuming though. It’s my favorite. Ben and I got a Dyson for our wedding and it’s pretty much the greatest thing ever!
I HATE all chores, hahaha. I don’t mind bathrooms as much as dishwasher unloaded or clothes folding!
I promise you will love the veggie burrito bowl at Chipotle so much more. It comes with the peppers/onions mix and a scoop of guac is included for free! Make sure you throw on the corn salsa too for maximum veggie-ness.
I used to love Chipotle, but went there pregnant and got food poisoning from the chicken, it had to have been it, b/c my husband and I both got the same bowl except mine was chicken and his was barbacoa. Within minutes of leaving I was ill. We just stick to Freebird’s now, don’t know if you have those in the midwest, or if it’s just Dallas.
so jealous u have the day off tmrw! sunday evenings are always like a mourning period of the weekend for me
i love the veggie burrito bowl, btw. so worth it to get that guac! meat really isnt necessary =)
i HATE cleaning the shower and the toilet. i hate hate hate the shower.
i don’t mind doing the dishes or vacuuming.
i hate putting away laundry, but i don’t mind putting it in the wash.
i wish we had a chipotle here.
We don’t have a dishwasher–so my least fav chore is washing dishes… :/
Everyone thinks I’m crazy, but I don’t mind doing the dishwasher! I’m weird, I know. I haaaaate the bathroom and folding laundry. And unpacking is the worst, I consider it a chore….blahhhh, I actually have to go do that now….but tomorrow morning sounds like the better plan!
We are polar opposites on chores – I HATE vacuuming. My favorite apt had all hardwood floors…but I love to do dishes and bathrooms.
Love the Chipotle. I hear we’re getting one in Ames!
The first month my wife and I moved into our apartment, we had no furniture so we slept on our living room floor for a MONTH… those were some good times. That last pic made me think of it!
i stopped ordering the chicken at chipotle once i found out they only use dark meat …. EW! my new favorite is the carnitas, never anything shady in there!!!!
I’ve had the same (bad) luck with Chipotle chicken lately, boo.
Back to fajita veggies!
I had no idea you could get smaller sizes! How cool.
I love doing laundry and vacuuming but hate anything to do with dishes or garbage.
Chipotle and Mexican restaurants you will forever have my heart! I have been craving Burrachos FOREVER!
The chore I hate the most is cleaning the toilet. I’ll pass.
I agree with Erica – the shower is the WORST! Especially our 50-year-old tile shower. I don’t mind unloading the dishwasher. My husband hates it.
I hate sweeping and mopping. I don’t really mind other stuff at all.
A Dyson! I’ve been lusting after one of those for years! Call me crazy, but I just love that concept.
My least favorite chores are doing the dishes and cleaning toilets. I always plan my toilet cleaning for right before I take a shower, because I’ll just feel super dirty until I do.
That’s when I do it too! I refuse to clean toilets if I’ve already showered.
Don’t let them tell you they don’t sell the “kids chips” individually…they totally do! They’re just the right portion…(because I WILL eat the whole big bag if I ever get it!).
Vacuuming! Mainly because I hate carrying the vacuum up and down the stairs, but I am lucky there and my husband does the vacuuming
Chipotle has been having trouble with their source for chicken.

Of course, Chipotle is pretty bad Mexican food to begin with so I can’t imagine whatever “chicken” they’re using is making it better!
I had the exact same experience with Chipotle chicken awhile back. I went veggie for awhile before I discovered carnitas. Oh my yumminess! So good!
My husband and I both hated unloading the dishwasher…now we don’t have one. When we went to find out the sex of our baby, as the doctor came in we were betting on whether he was a boy or a girl. The loser had to unload the dishwasher for a month. I won.
Hate cleaning the shower and taking the laundry OUT of the dryer to fold and put away. The other stuff isn’t too bad – I’m just lazy to keep up with it constantly!
YUM – Chipotle is my favorite!! That is where I picked to eat right before I went in to be induced for labor – Haha. I knew I wouldn’t be able to eat until the baby came – so Chipotle it was:)
I think dusting is boring – I only don’t mind bathrooms because if those and the floors are clean – I am good to go!
ok that little bag of chips is cuter than any baby ive seen in the last 3 years.
I know what you mean about questionable chicken, so I always get barbacoa. Haven’t had any problems with it so far. I loathe cleaning the bathroom. Ick. I do, however, love to fold laundry!
Oh my gosh thanks for the heads up about the Chipotle! I think I might stick to the veggie bowl from now on too…
I love vacuuming too! There’s something totally satisfying about it because you get such speedy results.
I hate unloading the dishwasher too! It’s so weird – the hubby and I will both wash dishes by hand, but we argue over unloading the dishwasher. Oh, and I hate folding socks! LOL!
I am cleaning the shower right now (which is my most hated chore) because it has been neglected far, far, far too long!
i used to get a chicken salad at subway but a few times the chicken was chewy & not so nice. not again, i’d rather save the money & make my own salad.
i’m obsessed with the jersey shore, its my secret!
My most hated chore is most definitely sweeping and mopping the floors.I don’t mind doing the laundry or dishes.It’s just the packing away afterwards,that sucks.
i despise unloading the dishwasher and taking out the trash (we live in an apartment). i don’t mind doing all the others!
Burrito bowls and their chips are a match made in heaven. I do the same thing!
I love burrito bowls from Chipotle! They are so good.
I don’t mind unloading the dishwasher. I’d much rather do that than clean the bathrooms. I hate cleaning the bathrooms. Ick.
I hate doing it all, but considering I am the primary home person I suck it up and just do it, or the house would always be a disaster zone!!
I am so jealous of your dinner, I wish we had a chipolte in the greater Charlotte, NC area
My most HATED chore is cleaning around the base of the toilet. With all of the cleaning devices and mechanisms out there you’d think they would have a great and easy way to do this!
I had the same problem with Chipotle and stopped eating their chicken all together about 4 years ago. I used to put the shredded beef in my burrito bowl instead, but now I stick to veggie because it doesn’t leave you with that heavy full feeling. Not to mention getting the veggie bowl means they won’t charge you for the guacamole! Win
Have a great week!
Scrubbing out the tub and dusting. I despise them both. Equally. Blech.
I always get a veggie salad at Chipotle and it’s really good! The dressing is honey lime something or other–really good!
I hate sweeping. We have a large tile area, and with a dog and a toddler, it tends to get dirty quickly, so I sweep and mop quite often!!! I also hate unloading the dishwasher, especially when water pools in the bottoms of glasses. Also, chicken at fast food joints scares me!! I always get the gristle, I swear! Totally turns me off for the rest of the meal!
I always get the Carnitas Bowl from Chipotle and eat with chips. Love love love. I hate cleaning bathrooms because five minutes later(with 3 kids) they are dirty again. I do love laundry though. All the fresh clean clothes folded and put away is so soothing.
favorite blogger, hands down!
Cleaning the shower is my least desired activity. Luckily my hubby loves to clean the shower and toilets. It is his Saturday morning ritual. I like doing laundry, and cleaning the kitchen (my castle).
I loooove Chipotle’s steak! I am so craving a burrito bowl now.
We don’t have a dishwasher so doing the dishes is a never ending chore that I don’t really enjoy!
I’m with you… I can not stand to clean the bathroom. Not only does it gross me out but the cleaners just get to me. My skin itches, my lungs hurt… it’s just all together bad. Ok, maybe I’m being dramatic, but I really don’t like to clean the bathroom.
I do enjoy cleaning the kitchen but my favorite thing to do is to make my bed! Years ago my best friend told me “even if your room is a disaster, make you bed and it will make your room look clean.” To this day, I make my bed every day… it’s just makes me happy!
Oh my goodness that mini bag of chips is GENIUS! I always want chips at Chipotle but never get them because I, like you, have a hard time not annihilating the entire bag
Most hated household chore = washing the floor down on my hands and knees with Pinesol and a rag. My mom asked me to do it for her last weekend and I wanted to kill myself afterward.
I hate washing pots and pans!!
Hate dishes and putting away laundry. I like vacuuming and doing the laundry. I actually do not mind cleaning the bathroom b/c we have a newer house and do not have glass shower doors that are a pain to clean.
I spend way way WAY too much time watching Jersey Shore. I feel you girl. Chipotle is the only way to go.
I can’t deal w/ the bathroom cleaning either (the toilet)! I swear I get light-headed!
I have a cleaning lady mainly for that reason. I’ve never had her vacuum, though, ‘cuz I don’t mind it (& now my daughter does it!) & it saved $$ not to have her do it.
Nice farmer’s tan, Ben!
i am so glad i am not the only intelligent woman out there that is utterly addicted to jersey shore. cannot.stop.watching. ugh.
also, love Ben’s U of Miami shirt! Go Canes!
I cannot stand to do dishes. I have to because I love to cook, but my husband has figured out that him doing dishes is the key to pretty much anything he wants. love marriage!
Oh my. I’m going to have to try that when I’m in Minneapolis in September. I made a note of going to Chipotle last summer while I was there, but forgot. I really need to remember this time.
