Despite the fact that my appetite has been weaker than Britney Spears' list of excuses lately*, I am a fat woman trapped in a little girl's body. Seriously. I love food and last night, I actually had a dream about a meal I had.
The way I see it is if it's good enough to dream about, it's good enough to blog about.
I'm not a foodie by any small stretch of the imagination. The idea of crudos and truffle-infusions doesn't set me off in a fit of gastronomic ecstasy, but you know what does make me happy? Food that tastes good. It doesn't have to be pretty or well-plated. It doesn't have to feature exotic ingredients like Tahitian vanilla or Meyer lemons. It just needs to taste good.
And the Huevos Rancheros at Ruby's Diner are delicious.
(I didn't have my camera, so I couldn't snap a picture -- but it looks like a bigger, somewhat messier version of the above)
Two fried eggs atop crispy flour tortillas layered with spicy black beans, fresh homemade salsa and guacamole, cheese, black olives, chopped green onion and fresh cilantro served with a side of home fries.
Hands-down, one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. The only thing that could have made this feast more palatable would be eating it at 2:30 A.M. after a long night of drinking with friends or eating it at 9:00 A.M. after a long weekend of camping with friends.
Unfortunately, Ruby's only has locations in - Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington State so if you don't live in one of these states, you're somewhat SOL. But, huevos rancheros is a pretty common Tex-Mex breakfast dish, so with a little searching, you should be able to find it at an eatery near you.
Good luck and happy eating!
* So, my appetite's been nil as of late and I have no idea why. Last week, over the course of 48 hours, I ate a collective of a dinner roll and a Snickers Creme Pumpkin. I mentioned this to Dan's mom (she's a nurse) and she told me that sometimes, pregnant women lose their appetites. After recovering from the six simultaneous heart attacks I suffered at that very moment, I came to the logical realization that Dan and I will not be having little Irish-Indian babies anytime soon.

Fat women trapped in a little girl's body? That's so me. I love food way too much, it's not even funny. One of these days I might have to start cutting out all the crap I eat and start working out, but not yet. Not yet.
I keep saying that too, but then -- I find really yummy bread and amazing olive oil in the pantry and that idea just flies right out of the window!
