*Disclosure: The purpose of this blog is not to inform readers on healthy food recipes/diets/or to track exercise progress.

Mr. and Mrs. Bluth would like to highlight food due to the following reasons:
1. Mr. Bluth is finishing his semester and dinner time is about the only time they have to spend together.
2. Mr. Bluth LOVES to eat.
3. Mr. and Mrs. Bluth's taste buds have been gleaming with joy after a few meals these last few weeks.

Now if you may be a glutenphobic, a vegan, or a coconut oil/quinoa obsesser, please don't be grossed out by the following meals. We love to eat healthy foods, but sometimes cheese and flower tortillas deserved to be eaten.

We have an unyielding love for anything with a Latin twist and therefore rice, beans, tortillas, and cheese are consumed about once a week through different concoctions. And we can't forget to mention our true love: avocados. Two Saturday's ago before Mr. Bluth's schedule got out of control, we ventured over to a restaurant called Nuevo Leon. Mr. Bluth had heard that it is the best Mexican restaurant in Chicago and the cheapest. The outing was to celebrate Mrs. Bluth's graduation since Mr. Bluth was still in Chicago when Mrs. Bluth got her victory dinner in December from her parents. To describe our experience after our first bite we wanted to do this all around the restaurant:
The food was delicious and to top off the experience there were home made tortillas. There is nothing better than home made tortillas.

As mentioned earlier, Mr. Bluth loves to eat and the best part about his love to eat is that he likes a lot of food and is willing to try anything that is placed in front of him.

He is easy-going with everything in life, including food. An example is that he developed the taste to eat Menudo on his mission. (yuck!)

Mrs. Bluth loves to cook now because anything she tries to make Mr. Bluth, he will eat and occasionally she tries to cook something that includes his favorite ingredients.


We have a winner! This chicken recipe included some of his favorite ingredients such as cheese, bacon bits, tomatoes, and just a little bit of bbq sauce. Although Mrs. Bluth never would have made this recipe if it were not for Mr. Bluth, she really enjoyed it too. The trick to cooking in the Bluth household is to simply use ingredients that we like and we will almost automatically enjoy the dish.

Cinco de mayo came which meant enchiladas for dinner. Mrs. Bluth used ingredients that were in the house plus a can of green enchilada sauce and the outcome were enchiladas with chicken, beans, onions, green peppers and many other random ingredients.

The best part about making enchiladas was that Mr. Bluth had enough leftovers for lunch for two days! That is what we call success.

One Saturday a few weeks after Easter, we went grocery shopping together. Mr. Bluth kept wandering off to get all the free samples and one time he brought back butter that was in the shape of a lamb. Now Mr. Bluth had the biggest smile when he brought back his new treasure and so it went into the cart. The funniest part about the lamb butter was that it was only 50 cents!


Life together lately has been revolved around food, but there are no complaints. Please know that we eat healthy food too! We did babysit last Friday night and Mrs. Bluth only managed to take one picture. Babysitting is turning into one of our favorite weekend activities.
