I have a weakness for Mexican food. I was really craving something spicy but didnt have a lot of time to make something.  I rooted through my pantry and found a packet of taco seasoning, a can of garbanzo beans, and a package of tostata shells.
I drained half the can of beans and poured them in a skillet after cooking for a minute or so I started mashing them with the back of a spoon and then added about half the packet of seasoning. I continued smashing to mix it all really good. I did have to add a splash of water towards the end because it was beginning to stick a bit. I heated up the shells spooned the mixture on and topped it off with some cheese and salsa - thats all I had on hand - otherwise I would of used all the good taco toppings. This picture is pretty sad looking as I took it with my phone.



I also decided to try a new breakfast recipe. Monday's and Friday's are my long days at work so I like to have a heartier breakfast those days, yet I dont like to wake up earlier than needed. I had heard of overnight oats so thought I would give that a try.

I combined in a bowl
 -1/2 cup of oats
-1/2 cup skim milk (next time I will use less, I like my oatmeal to be thicker than most)
-dash of cinnamon 
-teaspoon (about) of flaxseed meal

I mixed all that together, covered the bowl and placed in the fridge. 
In a baggie I combined sliced strawberries, a handful of blueberries and some chopped walnuts

I placed all that in the fridge and went to bed! When I woke up I stirred the bowl up and added my baggie of fruit and nuts. After a taste test I added more cinnamon and tiny bit of sugar. Like I said next time I wont use as much milk it was just too watery for my liking. Other than that, very tasty and filling. I also had a slice of whole wheat bread with peanut butter.
