December weekends for me, are anything but quiet or calm.  Grocery shop, bake, decorate, clean the kitchen, repeat.   Throw in a little online shopping and wrapping and you know exactly how I've been spending my days this month.  Don't get me wrong - I'm not complaining, a hectic schedule = lots of catering orders, just giving you a life update. 

The downside of my full calendar is very little "down" time for extra things like taking a shower and brushing my teeth. (Totally kidding - I'm a total fanatic about oral hygiene.🦷)  😁🤣I've figured out that scheduling a December night out - well in advance - is the best way for me to take a break during this busy season. 

A couple of months about - I bought tickets to visit the Atlanta Zoo to see the Chinese Lantern festival and last night was the night.  It was a balmy, humid 60 degrees but we still carried cups of hot chocolate as we strolled through the zoo lights in our festive t-shirts.  
If you live in Atlanta - I highly recommend Illuminights at the Zoo.  It's amazing.

​When I have lots of catering orders, dinner prep gets pushed to the bottom of the priority list.  I try and make extra meals on days when I don't have a full day of baking but those days are far and few between lately.  My family's starting to get suspicious of my plan serve the 12 soups of Christmas.  🤣​

​Hello, Roasted Chili Rellenos with Black Beans.  This meal is heathy, I can prepare it in advance and quickly and most importantly - it's super flavorful and delicious.

Cut a slit in poblanos from stem to pointy end.  Remove seeds and rinse under cold water. 
Pour half of the sauce into the bottom of a baking dish.  Place pepper on top, slit side up.

Spoon the rest of the sauce over the filled peppers.

I was a little hesitant about how these stuffed chilies would be received by my family members who are ultra-sensitive to spicy food.  Surprisingly - they love it.  I toned down the jalapeños to make it a little more mild and they gobbled it up.  

Ciao!
