Roasted sweet potato black bean tacos with peppers and goat cheese are a delicious flavorful vegetarian taco recipe.
Why Everyone Loves\na Good Train Wreck, by Eric G Wilson is the book I chose to check out. It\u2019s\nliterally about the human desire to see and/or experience pain. Who needs help\npicking out books? Me. First on the agenda: read the second half of the book I\nbegan months ago. Next on the agenda: read the book about the rubber necking\nfascination people have for hurt and wreckage. Then on the agenda: ask you (yes you!) advice for good books. I have 4 months to read 23.5 books, so let\u2019s\nkeep them page turners. As much as I want Calvin and Hobbes to count, it doesn\u2019t.\nDanielle Steel doesn\u2019t count either. What books should I read, friends?
Taco Talk Time: I\nlove roasted vegetables to begin with and putting them in a tortilla with black\nbeans, corn and cheese gives me an ear reaching grin. You could put a banana in a tortilla and I\u2019d\nbe happy, but a veggie treat taco is heavenly. I do eat meat {a lot} but it can\nbe nice to take a meat hiatus and change up the taco with fresh produce. You\ncan add all sorts of yums like chipotle sour cream, guacamole, your favorite\nsalsa, cilantro, etc but keeping it simple and fresh is delicious as well!
