This sounds really good. I want to try this and add avocado, olives and maybe some cheese. Btw I've been wondering have you totally stopped eating desserts? I know I have only scratched the surface of your blog so you may have mentioned this before. I just want to know what you think of things like black bean brownies.

I definitely do enjoy desserts, but its a rarity. It might be like a couple of cookies every month or so. Black bean brownies actually can be kinda cool. When I eat a dessert, it has to be high quality and TOTALLY worth the experience.
