Welcome to the second Mexican Meatless Monday!
You guys know I love easy recipes and this is another one of my classics 🙂 Tonight for dinner I made Easy Black Bean Soup (see I even added easy in the name).
The soup only requires four ingredients plus chips and cheese for topping. Ingredients: can of refried black beans, vegetable broth, jar of salsa and frozen veggies. 
Directions: Place entire can of beans, jar of salsa, half a bag of frozen veggies and add vegetable broth to desired thickness. Heat thoroughly. Top with shredded cheese and crushed chips.
This time I ate the chips on the side for dipping.
I’m feeling a lot better than I was this morning 🙂 Sorry if my recap seemed like a downer in any way. I completely realize that running a marathon is an amazing accomplishment and I am proud of myself.
But…you guys also know I keep it real here and I would be lying if I didn’t admit feeling a twinge of disappointment when I saw my time on the board at the finish line.
Thanks for the well wishes and please believe that I am proud of myself – I always say that I am not built for running. The fact that I run at all, let alone run 26.2 miles is a miracle…
I weigh more than I’d like to – and more than my knees would like to carry. I ran a marathon yesterday. I wore spandex in public with nothing to hide my ass. I am one bad bitch. I do give myself some credit 😉
I am also very happy to share my Disney loot with my little bro, Matt. He is absolutely obsessed with all things Disney so I made sure to bring home anything that wasn’t bolted down from the hotel room.
And I got this collector’s pin that I’m going to give to him.
My eats today have been very random. First I wasn’t hungry at all, then I was super hungry out of no where, then I was emotionally snacky… just one of those days. I didn’t document most of it, but this was one of the highlights:
Plus extra PB for dipping, because I am a glutton. Note to self: Either go to confession or stop being a glutton unless you want to go to hell. 
I expect that tomorrow my body will be back to normal (for me) and I will be able to get back on the Intuitive Eating wagon 🙂
Have a good one 🙂
Dang… this recipe COULD NOT be any easier! Going to try it ASAP! I loooove me some black beans and salsa!
The EASY Black Bean Soup looks great, I love beans. That’s nice that you’re giving your bro your loot, hope you kept something to remember the race by!
The soup looks great!
You do have so much to be proud of! I am so in awe of your accomplishment…for the second time!
total badass bitch 🙂 peanut butter on anything is really good! i’m a total glutton when it come to pb too
So sweet of you to bring back some Disney for you little bro 🙂
Bah I say embrace your cravings today and don’t worry about it – Imagine how much you burned running 26miles!? The body knows what it needs!! I’m glad you’re feeling a bit more positive though 😀
A belated congrats on completing your marathon! That is awesome!
I am now going to be on the look out for those pretzel sandwiches! Dipped in PB? Even better mmmmm 🙂
You are such an amazing and truthful person! to run a marathon! and commit to peanut butter on pb! that sounds so good right now… i will have to give it a try! I love your blog and simple recipes! keep up the fantastic work! 😉
Well, it’s good that you finally got to cheering yourself on. You are a bad-ass a bitch and you should own all your accomplishments! Be proud!
That soup looks so easy and good! 🙂 and you’re right, you are a bad ass bitch! haha
Peanut butter and pretzels = PERFECTION. Salty, crunchy, slightly sweet, carby, wonderful. Just wonderful!!
I love how simple your soup is. I am definitely going to have to give it a try. And I just tried those TJ’s chips today and they are so yummy!
Yum, I make a similar soup, but modify it to my picky-ish husband’s liking. The refried beans make a great base for the soup. Peanut butter and pretzels = a match made in heaven.
I’m glad you’re feeling better!
