Corn, Black Bean and Fire Roasted Tomato Salad

First things first:

1. Let's pretend that the pictures in this post are taken during the day time with a DSLR and not my shitty blackberry.

2. Let's pretend I wrote this post with Window's Live Writer and not the stupid Blogger interface and that all my pictures are the right way, ok?

Lately, I've become a huge fan of Back to Her Roots. She's funny, she's gorgeous, she met Krissie, takes gorgeous photos, and makes some wicked food.

Case and point: Corn, Black Bean and Fire Roasted Tomato Salad.

I made this salad last night, and it was delicious. I made a few minor tweaks: I omitted the onion, added some cilantro and red pepper flakes. I served it on a bed of spinach with a small chicken breast and some steamed broccoli.

Fire-roasted tomatoes are hard to come by in Canada I find. I managed to find them, but also managed to pay $1.99 for a teeny tiny can.

Leftovers for lunch today!

I find with the cooler temperatures arriving my cooking mojo has returned. I was in a bit of a rut there for a while, but I can't tell you how happy it makes me to have a fridge filled with healthy food. I'm in a such a good place right now in regards to health and fitness.

Good place = not obsessing over every. single. thing. I. eat.

Good place = not obsessing over every. single. calorie. I. burn.

It's about time eh?

Have a great Friday!

Looks great! I think we all battle with not obsessing with food and how much we exercise. I hope you have an excellent weekend :)

I agree with not obsessing!

Mmm...recently I've been loving avocado on everything from eggs to salad!
