The big 7-0.....

So, not only did Scott manage to get the computer up and running again last night...butttttttttttttttttttt: He officially LOST 70 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The 'student surpassed the teacher' ;)  Now I gotta catch up to HIM:)  SOOOO PROUD!! :)

Anyways...so now I have quite a few things to show you from the last few days, but figured I'd start with last night's dinner since we loved it so much!  We made Roasted Corn Tostadas!  (I am on a roasted corn kick, apparently!)  These were sooooooooooooooo filing!!!

This time, however, we actually DID grill the corn as instructed:)  I coated them with olive oil, salt, pepper and a little chili powder and Scott grilled them up for a little charr-fabulousness.  Then the only tricky part:  scraping off the kernels, but it's worth it!  I LOVED fresh corn!... 

Meanwhile, I warmed up some tortillas on the stove.  I just left them right on the range and flipped them as soon as I could smell them burning:)  The nose knows, right?? :)

I lined up almost all of our fillings....

And got busy layering!  This baby was PACKED with refried black beans, roasted corn, lettuce, avocado, cheese and topped with a little of the 'chipotle cream.'  I made the "cream" with fat free half and half and a little flour to thicken it up...worked JUST FINE!  You couldn't really taste it anyway, but you could FEEL it in the back of your throat! :)  El Fuego! :)

Here was Scott's...he added a little roasted garlic salsa to finish it off.  Bursting at the seams, I tell ya!
These were delicious and almost all veggies, which is pretty healthy! :)  And we liked ALL of the fresh ingredients = PERFECT for summer!!

We 'sided' our tostada's with some sauteed zucchini with MORE roasted corn;)  Yum!

Ok...I knowww I have talked a LOT about ice cream lately....but it IS summer, after all!!  And I just HAD to mention this flavor because I am completely obsessed with it!  (I even had it for 'lunch' on Friday because I knew it was the ONLY thing I REALLY wanted....)
Now let me tell ya, I don't mess around with ANY 'light ice cream/frozen yogurt' UNLESS they are good....and this one is gooooooooooooooooood!  I LOVE honey and this one is SWIRLED throughout with a little granola CRUNCH for texture.  DELICIOUS!

And the stats are not too shabby!
And you know this is good if I actually chose THIS over Coconut Chocolate Graeter's for the night! :) hahahahhahaha...

So I hope you're as happy that the computer is working as I am ;) hahahahaha  Have a great Wednesday!
