I only ask because with this long weekend I am struggling with that a bit! Not that I am complaining mind you…no sirrreee….I take these “mini” vacations any way I can get em! Is anyone excited and ramped up about the new plan? Are you attending a meeting tomorrow? I sure am! You seem to get more to eat on the new plan…even if things “cost” more in terms of points…
Ok on to some cooking! Being that I love Mexican food, in any way shape or form…this one sounds good, even though I haven’t tried it yet…I did make a good Mexican meatloaf tonight for dinner…made it up on the fly….

The family will love this “burrito in a bowl”—a soup of chunky vegetables, beans, and broth, colorfully topped with tortilla, cheese, sour cream, and cilantro.
Ingredients
2 c reduced-sodium chicken broth
16 oz fat-free canned refried beans
16 oz frozen mixed vegetables
2 T Diced green chilies, mild variety
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 T chili powder
1 6-inch tortilla, flour, fat-free, cut into thin strips (about 1⁄2 cup)
6 T low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
6 T fat-free sour cream
3 T cilantro, fresh, chopped
Instructions
Bring the broth and beans to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the mixed vegetables, chilies, garlic, and chili powder; return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the flavors are blended and the vegetables are tender, about 6 minutes.
Divide the soup evenly among 4 bowls.
Top each bowl with about 2 tablespoons tortilla strips, 1 1⁄2 tablespoons each of cheese and sour cream, then a sprinkling of chopped cilantro.
Yields 1 1⁄2 cups soup with toppings per serving.
