Restaurant Style Blender Salsa








































You never realize how little self control you actually have until a bowl of chips
and salsa is set in front of you at a restaurant. Anyone else have this problem?!?!

Chips and salsa is one of my favorite appetizers. Spicy, salty, crunchy - yes please!
Why wait for restaurant chips and salsa when you can make your own at home.
Homemade salsa is super easy and takes less than 10 minutes to prepare using a
Vitamix® E310 Explorian Series Blender. Happy Hour at home in no time at all!

Homemade Guacamole {Chipotle Recipe}


Homemade Guacamole {Chipotle Recipe}





















I love eating at Chipotle Mexican Grill, but the location in our college town is always
super busy.  The students seem to flock there in droves!

The chicken burrito bowl is my favorite, along with a side of chips and guacamole - yum!
I just love Chipotle guacamole and after doing a little research, I found that they actually
share the recipe for their guacamole right on the Chipotle website!  Isn't that nice of them!

Veggie Quesadillas

Several months ago my boss took me out to lunch to a restaurant in Roanoke, VA
called The Village Grill.  The restaurant is owned by one of his former students, so
we thought we would stop by to say hello and grab a bite for lunch.  Unfortunately
Nathan, the owner, wasn't there at the time, but we stayed for lunch anyway and I'm
so glad we did! The service was great and the food even better!

Vegetable Quesadillas with zucchini





















I ordered the veggie quesadilla, which was filled with grilled squash, zucchini, mushrooms,
onions, peppers and cheddar cheese.  It was delicious!  I love zucchini, so I made a mental
note to try to recreate The Village Grill recipe at home.

Skillet Chicken Nachos

Chips and salsa are one of my favorite snacks.
Add some chicken, cheese, black beans and avocado and you've got dinner!

Skillet Chicken Nachos





















We love Mexican food.  
You can find my husband and I at Chipotle at least once a week, in line with a hundred
JMU college students.  Our location is always super busy!  We're easy to spot because 
we're usually the oldest ones in the place.  What is it about college students and Chipotle?
