Bean and Cheese Taquitos

Bean and Cheese Taquitos are a simple vegetarian meal to whip up! Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com

The other night I was home alone, with no one to feed but myself so I made some Bean and Cheese Taquitos and ate them on the couch in peace. Only one of my cats harassed me so I consider that an introvert Mom WIN.

Making homemade taquitos is an easy thing to do and I don’t know why I don’t do it more often since we always have a can of beans, shredded cheese,  and some corn tortillas to use up (my child LOVES tacos!).

Crispy on the outside and gooey beans & cheese on the inside. YUM. 2022 is the year I bring taquitos back into my life.

​​Happy Monday, friends!

We are into our third week of 2022. How are we feeling??  We had a full weekend. Cooper had baseball practice, I hung out with a friend & went on a long walk + dinner. I also did some meal prep and got a bunch of packaging ready for shipping. I also set aside some time yesterday to work a little bit in my Currently Workbook (there are a few left in the shop if you want to join me!)

Cooper’s off of school today.

Mocha Meringues

Mocha Meringues with chocolate chips inside! Find this gluten free recipe on Shutterbean.com!

My child saw the recipe I marked for Mocha Meringues on our kitchen table and was like, “YOU HAVE TO MAKE THESE!” He didn’t realize that I pulled that recipe for him. He loves anything coffee-flavored and will eat a whole container of meringues from Trader Joe’s in one sitting if I’m not there to intervene.  It’s happened before and that little bugger didn’t save me ONE.

I made them earlier this week and they were well received!

They’re light and crisp. The flavor is amazing. It’s like fudge that melts instantly in your mouth. They only lasted 24 hours in my house… It would have been less time if I didn’t tell my meringue-obsessed child I had to take more pictures of them for this post.  I can’t get him to eat eggs, but I can get him to eat a whole batch of meringues. Go figure!
