Why am I doing this?

Hello everyone or no one... ... I have started this blog as a sort of diary. I haven't been all that happy with my physical self as of late and am beginning to remedy these feelings. I thought that this might be a good place to go when I have things to say and no one to really say them to. So enjoy, laugh at, or relate to all that is to follow. Andi

A version of a Chimichanga

This didn't turn out too bad either... I only made half the recipe and will prolly bake the rest later in the week.  I butchered this one way too much to paste the link here...  They are kind of high points, but you could really cut back with some healthier tortillas and no rice...

1 lb ground beef 90% or better
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp chili seasoning
1/2 cup Chunky Salsa
1 pkg (about 2 1/2 cups) spanish rice
10 8 inch flour tortillas

preheat oven to 475 degrees... spray 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray
prepare rice according to package or favorit recipe
brown beef with onion.  drain. mix in garlic, chili seasoning,rprepared rice and salsa. Simmer 3 minutes, stirring frequently. 
spoon 1/2 cup mixture into each tortilla and place in pan.  Cover and bake for 15 minutes.
Serve with non-fat sour cream and low-fat cheese to taste.

filling - 3 points
tortilla - 3 points
1 Tbsp sour cream - 1 point
1/4 cup shredded cheese - 1 point

Oh... and by the way.. this one's making it to the recipe box too!
