I get a salad with chicken, corn salsa, tomato salsa, a bit of sour cream and cheese. And I maybe eat half of it and save the rest for another meal. The salad dressing is DEADLY, calorically-- 200 just for the dressing.
Thanks, aliikazoo, figured out my salad is 880 calories. Good thing I only eat half.
I don't get how this is a million dollar winner. It reminds me of Sandra Lee's faux "cooking". Oh wait, look who's the host...
"it wouldn't be top chef without a fauxhawk". So, so true.
Ooh, almost forgot: cracklin' cornbread. You might develop heart disease just reading the recipe, but it is so. unbelievably. good.

(not my site, but that's pretty close.)
The key is a preheated cast iron skillet-- that makes for a super crunchy outside crunch. So good!
Oh, yum. I'm going to have to pick some of this up.
You (or a lovely reader) might know the answer-- is there a difference between the Nutella sold in Europe and the Nutella sold in the US? I notice that the European Nutella is creamier, almost liquid, whereas the Nutella in the US is more like peanut butter in consistency.
The best part: "his cute little behind". I don't want to think about how cute my animal (formerly) was. I mean, I am totally okay with the fact that meat used to BE an animal, but I don't think of its cuteness.
And ew, Velveeta.
I've made her rosemary-d leg of lamb, and it was delicious.
My favorite cooking technique? For meat, roasting. For vegetables, steaming. For desserts? Bruleeing!
When my boyfriend and I dine out, we tend to order appetizers and not entrees-- again, for more variety and smaller portions. I usually get a salad and eat a few appetizers, he usually eats the rest of the appetizers and springs for dessert. Ah, to have his metabolism.
The law just requires that you post calorie information... I think Chipotle decided to do the "Calorie Range" as a way to post mis-leading information. Because items are not pre-made with a specific set of ingredients, and calories will vary based on your personal selections, they are well within their legal right to post a "range"- but clearly the range is total baloney.
As for the law itself, while I agree that eating by numbers is no way to live, there are clearly alot of people who think that fast food is less fattening than it is, and while we are all fairly well informed eaters- you'd be really surprised how many people are shocked to discover how incredibly fattening a Chipotle Burrito is.
As far as Chipotle being for "Serious Eaters", while their use of organic and/or fresh ingredients is commendable, it's still the lesser of two evils- and is clearly fast food made to be mass marketed and mass produced across the country in a cookie cutter way.
mmm chipotle! i get the veggie burrito w/ black beans, tomatoes & roast corn, lettuce, cheese, guac & sour cream. it's probably a lot of calories (who's counting?) but it's not like i eat there all the time, maybe once a month or so for lunch.
Try an asada steak, guac, and pico do gallo burrito (holding the rice, beans, peppers, onions, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and anything else I might have missed). Have it with a Negra Modelo. Grab a couple lemon wedges from the fixins bar, and sprinkle some lemon juice as you go.
wasn't this news several years ago? i eat: burrito bol, rice, black beans, two salsas, guac and extra lettuce. total: 550 calories. the thing about that bol is i FEEL full. it seems like a lot of food. you could get the same caloric intake for a big Starbucks drink or a milkshake at some drive through - and not feel full.

I think the rice is this biggest sneak when it comes to calories.
My favorite is a barbacoa salad.

A recipe, according to Webster's, is a set of instructions for making something from various ingredients. That makes this and other recipes calling for the use of convenience food ingredients "real." The contest is clearly designed to generate recipes using specific brand-name products. If that's not your thing, look elsewhere for your recipes.
At first I was excited to see a peanut butter cookie recipe that was worth a million dollars until I saw that it was made with a premade cookie dough! I have never used a premade store bought cookie dough & never will! Every cookie from scratch is my idea of a million dollar cookie, not some premade shortcuts. No thanks, I wouldn't even try this recipe. Maybe they need a crock of butter to go along with this recipe.
oh geez, I was expecting a real recipe. =(
According to the article about her in yesterday's Washington Post, this lady has entered the contest every year for the last 15 years. She came up with this recipe because it uses five of the sponsors' products. Her husband is a financial planner, so I'm sure they will figure out what to do with the money.
