Thanks for all your well wishes today! I laid on the couch, napped, worked and in general – was a complete LOAF. I’m ready to get better simply so I don’t have to sit around all day! I was going to go on a walk around 3:00, but I decided not to push it. My entire body feels like I got beat up, deep breaths are hard, etc. – so taking it easy today is probably for the best.

Call me crazy, but I couldn’t think of anything that sounded better for a “sick-day dinner” than a Homemade Chipotle Burrito Bowl.

In my opinion there are 4 key steps and components to any good burrito bowl:

1. The Rice

Cook long grain rice according to package directions. When done, finish with:

• Small pat of butter
• Salt
• Juice of 1/2 a lime
• Sprinkle of chopped cilantro

This rice is better than Chipotle’s.I swear to you!

2. The Beans

In a microwave safe bowl, heat up 1 can drained and rinsed black beans with:

• Splash of chicken broth
• Dashes of chili powder, cumin, oregano & cayenne pepper

Easy pasy.

3. The Chicken

Cook two chicken breasts in a skillet seasoned with:

• Chili Powder
• Garlic Salt
• Onion Powder
• Cumin
• Oregano

Then chop ‘em up.

4. The Pico

Whip up this easy Pico De Gallo with:

• 1 tomato (plus some cherry tomatoes I had on hand)
• 1 jalapeno
• 1 garlic clove
• 1/4 small red onion
• Sprinkle of chopped cilantro
• S&P
• Juice of 1/2 lime

Assembly = Rice + Beans + Chicken + Pico

Top this baby off with a dash of green Tabasco sauce, some chopped avocado, corn – whatever you want!

It’s fun to make your own versions of restaurant dishes because you know exactly what’s going in, and you have control over making your own little tweaks here and there.

This was a great dish to eat today when I was feeling so under the weather. Healthy, satisfying and heart-warming…just what I needed

I’m hoping/praying/crossing my fingers tightly that I feel better in the morning! Burrito bowls cure illnesses, right?!

Have a great night everyone – thanks again for the well wishes today.
