Chipotle Virgin

December 11, 2009 by Hillary Leave a Comment

Yes, it’s 100% true. Until today, I was a Chipotle virgin. I know…hard to believe. After my last microbiology lecture/last class of the semester, my roommate and I decided that warm, Mexican food sounded like the ultimate, rainy day lunch. Many others thought so too, as the line was out the door.

I ordered a vegetarian fajita burrito:

Oh man, here we go:

  • cilantro-lime rice
  • black beans
  • grilled peppers & onions
  • jack & white cheddar cheeses
  • roasted chile-corn salsa
  • pico de gallo
  • lettuce
  • guacamole

The burrito was gigantic. I ate half, and put the other half in the fridge for dinner – can’t wait!

After a solid 9+ hours of sleep last night, I am feeling quite a bit better. (Thank you for your cold remedy tips!) I am relieved by the fact that I will no longer have my professor cramming any more microbiology into my brain before the final exam. I need all the time I can get to try to absorb it all : )

Side Note: Last night as I was lying in bed with my computer (yay, laptops!) completing my last two online quizzes/blogging, I stumbled across an incredible blog: Honey & Jam. I am so impressed by this young girl’s talent.  The photographs are more than perfect. I want to purchase them all.

Well…I’m off to restock my cupboards at Trader Joe’s.

Happy Friday!

~ Hillary

    Congrats on your first Chipotle experience! :) I am so jealous that you can restock at a Trader Joes, we’re not blessed with TJ’s in Florida. :)

    FYI: We just watched the movie Food, Inc. (sooooo worth seeing by the way! A bit disturbing but overall good to know info) and learned that the owner of Chipotle buys his meat from sources that treat their animals humanely, are free range, given no antibiotics, etc. etc. I thought that was pretty cool for a restaurant. It’s hard to find “fast food” that cares about where their ingredients come from.

    Holy Burrito! Looks yummy. We have no Chipolte near me (I live in Canada). Great blog – I just found it through Meg’s! Check out my Blog if you like (of course) and/or add me to your Roll. I adore new readers and new sites :) Cheers.

    Never had Chipotle?!!?!?!? Ahhh, I’d die.

    I actually love their salads too. Chicken+mild salsa+greens+roasted corn salsa+fajita veggies+ guacamole. Sooo good. (On days you’re not feeling up to full burrito par.) Burritos are good too though!

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

This rare blue sky day in February is having me da This rare blue sky day in February is having me day dreaming about long, light-filled summer days... they’ll be here soon.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
