Nate and I went to the San Francisco Chocolate Salon yesterday at the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco. (I’ll be sharing some of our chocolate finds with you later this week!) When we were walking back to the car, this dog caught our eye. He was the perfect subject for a photo…not just because the whole scene drew me in for some reason, but the dog held completely still. His ear twitched, so we know’s real. I love this shot.

I made Sausage and Potato Soup tonight (can’t believe I’m actually sticking to the menu as written!). I added vanilla extract and balsamic. It was super yummy! I used half and half instead of cream and the “secret ingredients” made it taste very rich. I also put torn fresh spinach in my bowl then added the soup (hubby does not like greens).

Here you go Nina. It’s a super easy recipe.
Baked Black Bean Flautas w/ Creamy Avocado Sauce
1 15 oz. can black beans
8 corn tortillas
cooking spray
3/4 cup grated cheese, I use pepper jack
1 7 oz. can La Costena Green Mexican Salsa
1 avocado, seeded and scooped out of shell
-Preheat oven to 400°F.
-In a small bowl, mash black beans and their juice with a potato masher or a fork.
-Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray (line it with foil first for easier clean-up). Heat the corn tortillas in the microwave for about 1 minute, wrapping them in a moist towel, until they are soft and pliable. Spray both sides of one tortilla with cooking spray. Spoon a few tablespoons of the beans down the center of the tortilla, and top with a sprinkle of cheese. Roll up the tortilla tightly, and lay, seam side down, on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
-Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until tortillas are crispy and slightly browned.
-Meanwhile, puree the salsa with the avocado in a food processor until smooth. Serve the flautas topped with the Tomatillo-Avocado Sauce.
Jessica,
This looks great!
Thank you,
Nina
I was so confused about what to buy, but this makes it unrdestadnbale.
