Grown-up Chips and Cheese

Lookie here, I'm getting in one more post today! Probably the last for the week or two, thats how it goes with children. They take away your time on the internet. Could be worse right?

So my dinner plans got cancelled and I haven't gone to the grocery store yet. I always put off shopping with him because...well, shopping with a 9 month old sucks. So I have basically nothing to eat. No bread, very little amount a veggies, one egg. Hard to make something delicious. But I was wrong.

My dad sent me back to school with salsa yesterday. I LOVE homemade salsa. LOVE. I thought about doing chips and cheese, but I saw very little nutritional value in that even with the salsa. Chips and cheese used to be my go to snack. I mean come on. Its EASY. Throw a few chips on a plate, sprinkle on some cheese. Microwave for 60 seconds. Eat. Yum.

Well I realllllyyyy wanted to use this salsa and I didn't know what else to make so I grabbed the chips and went in the fridge to get the cheese, and there was some corn and black beans. Cue light bulb.

I grabbed cheese, corn, black beans, zucchini, onion, jalepeno, and tomato. All things I love that I just happened to have a little bit of sitting as leftovers in the fridge. Don't you love when things just come together like this??

I laid my chips on the plate, spooned on the corn and black beans, sprinkled on the cheese, cut up the onion, zucchini, and jalepeno, added that, and sprinkled with a little more cheese. I threw it in the microwave for a minute at a time. Each time on power three. I do this so I don't burn the cheese and have the rest cold. I think it ended up being around 3 minutes on power 3.

I then put the tomatos on top. Serve with salsa and light sour cream. It was great! And actually had some nutritional value! Score!

I just tried to add the picture I took, but my phone says that media can't be displayed. Just that picture? Right. Well I guess I will just have to make it again. Oh well :) I'll post it next time I make it!


But here are some other ideas of what you could put in this:
-avocado
-green peppers
-chicken
-ground beef
-brown rice
-green chiles
-cilantro
-lettuce

I think you get the idea! You really can use whatever you can find in your fridge!
