In need of a quick, easy (not to mention inexpensive) crock-pot meal? Enter in a vegetarian meal that will leave your home smelling wonderful and is so simple to throw together. Now I made this on a Sunday so sauteing onions, garlic and jalapeno at 9AM was not too bad, but could easily be done the night before for weeknight meals.

The recipe can be found here on the Whole Foods website. I pretty much followed the recipe exactly but think next time I would add 2 containers of  Greek yogurt which was still more than what was called for. You know I like my dairy

It is best served over steamed veggies and or rice and topped with cilantro!

“We’ve raised the bar. The chocolate bar that is.”

Yes Caribou, you have.

I had my 1st Mint Dark Chocolate Mocha of the season – I do these things for you, you know And there are times when chocolate must be consumed before 9 AM. I rarely get fun drinks like this but Mint Mochas even trump Pumpkin Spice lattes  in my book! I always get these drinks with less syrup, less chocolate , no whip and no extras – and with skim or soy. (Yes, I’m sure I drive the barista absolutely crazy) Even with these adjustments this drink was so incredibly rich, chocolaty and PERFECT!

“Our chocolate drinks are now handcrafted with gourmet Guittard chocolate. We steam real pieces of dark, milk or white chocolate into milk to create the ultimate mocha experience”

Just do yourself the favor and go get one. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
