Vegan Black Bean Enchilada

Well Tuesday was a no recipe day, one of our first in a while..Not due to our laziness, but rather a major outage of the ISP that’s hosting ripe-life.com. The website was down for quite some time all evening till we went to bed. We usually do the blog in the evenings after dinner when it’s nice and quiet and relaxing. On top of that I wasn’t feeling that great and actually took a rare day off from work, well a half day since no one could cover my shift.

Eventually the ISP and website were back online and life could once again go on lol. Isn’t it hilarious how much we relay (depend) on the Internet! When our Internet here at home goes down we know right away because Jordan will come running from his bedroom shouting “The Internets down, the Internets down”. I then proceed to reboot the modem/router since it usually resolves the issue.

These enchiladas were not the best to photograph, but boy were they yummy. Sometimes recipes work out that way. It was also the first time we have tried to make enchiladas (and eat them)
