I've decided to start blogging my eating adventures. Mostly because cooking has become increasingly boring lately and this will add some excitement to my life. I'm not that girl who shares what she eats because I have an eating disorder. I don't believe in dieting. I think diets, like budgets, are lame and evil. On that financial note, some may consider me cheap and wonder why I can't afford regular food, this has nothing to do with that. Really I am just trying to be more resourceful so my money can be used for more important things. I decided to put cost next to my meals. If it is something I have in the pantry it's free which I realize isn't super accurate but going forward, if I grocery shop, I'll consider those costs.
On my sister's recommendation I stole the title from Carrie Sun's blog on hospital eating .

Mexico, in sum

I was in Mexico last week and don't think I could tell you what I ate even if I wanted to.  Actually I think the majority of what I ate could be classified as "tacos."  I just highlight some of my meals (all free).
Churros:  Sometimes on Sunday nights in Mascota you can buy fresh churros, and by fresh I mean you watch them be pulled from the frier.  They are delicious and when I think of Mascota I think of churros.
Popsicles:  You can also get some good fresh fruit or whatever popsicles around town.  I might have found excuses to wander around near those shops a few times. 
Breakfast: Normally we ate breakfast at home.  Usually eggs or smoothies, always delicious.  One morning, for my birthday, we went out to my favorite cafe and I got this.  Normally I don't think caramel frappuccinos and nachos are a good breakfast but here it worked.
For more regular meals we had...
Nopales aka cactus: rellenod and in salad.  I'm not a gigantic fan.
Tacos: lots with beans, some with chicken, some with potatoes. Here's a picture of some I ate on my birthday with a side of dots.  It was quite the party.
My stomach was totally fine until I came home and had a dinner and breakfast of wheat Chex at my parents.  That ruined me. I'm doing better today.
