Meatless....Superbowl Sunday!

I apologize for taking so long to post. I started this blog right before the spring semester started and sort of had to hit the ground running with my classes....especially General Chemistry II (blech!). We have had a crazy week with ice storms, snow storms, and Superbowl weekend in Dallas. It was so nice to finally get out of the house and head up to the big D to hang out with the football crowd... Congrats to the Packers! We live only 30 minutes from Arlington - that would have been a great game to see at Cowboys Stadium if we had 4 grand + to spend on tickets :)

Every year Gerry makes his "famous" Superbowl Nachos and we sit and home and stuff our faces while we  watch the game. This year we continued the tradition with a little "twist." We left out the ground beef, made a couple additions, and they were (surprise, surprise ;) still really good!

Gerry's Meatless Superbowl Nachos

1 bag extra thin tortilla chips

1 can black beans

1 can corn

2 roma tomatoes, chopped

1-2 shallots, finely chopped

6 green onions, thinly chopped
