Today was one of the every other Fridays that Ryan has off from work, so he swung by my office to pick me up for a hot lunch date at Chipotle!
We had a buy-one-get-one-free coupon that was about to expire (you can still get one here!) and were both cravin’ Mexican food.
Ryan ordered a burrito while I opted for a burrito bowl with fajita vegetables, beans and extra salsa.
The beans and veggies were trapped under the mound of salsa! Just the way I like it. The more salsa the better.
I also helped Ryan with his burrito because I’m so kind.
As I am typing this post, I have a new lil’ business idea for Chipotle. Sell some churros!
Everyone loves churros and I was craving something sweet after my burrito bowl and would’ve gladly purchased one… or five. You can call them Chipurros or something clever. Oh, and feel free to give me 5 percent of the profits you make off Chipurros for giving you this bazillion dollar idea. Yes?
Back to work I goooo. I’m so ready for the weekend and some fun plans tonight. 😀
P.S. To those of you who commented on my dress this morning, the Fashion page is updated with all the details!
Emma (Sweet Tooth Runner) says

mkr says
Whenever I go to Chipotle I always say to myself that the burritos are so large that they look like footballs and/or small babies. But they’re so good! Your lunch date seems like the perfect way to gear up for the weekend!
Jess (Daly Authenticity) says
Do you know that I have never been to Chipotle?!? My husband thinks this is a tragedy, but we don’t have any around here! We are heading to DC next weekend and I am convinced there has to be one there, so we are GOING to go!

We’re going to Chipotle tonight to use our BOGO coupon. I’m not gonna lie – I’ve been looking forward to it for two days.
And I’m glad to see you can mix and match the BOGO. My husband also does the burrito and I get the bowl.
Happy Friday!
Amanda- The Nutritionist Reviews says
Sounds like a fun lunch date! How cute : )
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
I LOVE salsa too- it totally makes the meal. How fun that you got to eat lunch with your husband 🙂

I haven’t had a burrito in way too long. A coworker at the running store was eating one on Monday and I’ve had a craving ever since!
Heather (Heather's dish) says
I heart chipotle…seriously, I could eat there every.single.day!

Alexa says
I just had a burrito from there! It was so good. My only complaint is I eat it too fast and it sits like a rock in my stomach! Your dress is gorgeous!

Jarod (my fiance) had a great foodie-type idea last weekend that made me think of you. A chocolate bar with peanut butter on the OUTSIDE– I mean, come on, how amazing would that be?? 😀
Love the outfit!
Meg says
Mmm I drool for Chipotle.
Have you ever had their steak?! It’s da bomb dot com! Their salsa is amazing too, I agree 😀
katie says
I just have to comment on your blog again today! Im on a roll ; ) My fiance loves chipotle!!! He always tried to get me to have it with him, but I just never cared to, well last wknd I had it, without him !!!!!! I was buzzed and chipotle was the perfect fit for me after a little drinking, and it was good! I had a veggie burrito, Mike was happy I tried it but also laughed too ; )
Carrie says
I’m so embarrassed to say that I have never been to Chipotle! We don’t have one nearby but I am always hearing such great things about it! Maybe one day… 🙂
mary (sisters running the kitchen) says
i can never go to chipotle without getting Guac! I loveeee the huge scoop they give you !
Marisa says
chipotle=amazing! I think i could eat there for every meal! their guacamole and chips are worth every extra penny :]
Sarah K. @ The Pajama Chef says
we went to chipotle on this deal the other night too! 🙂
concerned reader says
I am writing as a concerned reader, did you realize your bowl was under 160 calories?
peanutbutterfingers says
thank you for your concern and for stating this comment in a genuine way. i appreciate it! i had beans + veggies, salad and salsa which, as you said, it probably fairly low in calories (maybe 300 b/c i had both beans?) but i actually went to lunch not very hungry since we had “foodie friday” at work and i ate my fair share of baked goods beforehand (and i prefer the mini-meals style of eating – 5 -6 mini meals a day). i can 100% promise you i wasn’t hungry! i don’t post everything i eat on the blog and i can definitely see how this lunch may have appeared smaller than a typical lunch should be. thanks for your genuine concern and i hope i alleviated some of your worries! i’m not one to intentionally restrict my food and if i’m hungry i eat!
Amber K says
I was curious about this and checked out their website for their nutritional information. How did you come at this 160 number? The calories for just the beans is more than 160…
Allison@ Happy Tales says
Yummm I LOVE Chipotle!! And your churro idea sounds pretty on point… hope Chipotle listens up!
Kiran says
I love Chipotle’s and thanks for sharing the offer 😉
Grace @ yourdailygrace says
Used the same coupon two nights ago! It was a little crazy at the Chipotle near UCF though! A.k.a. No where to park and we waited 30 minutes bur I’d say it was worth it!
Jenna-Marie says
Chipurros! I love it! Such a cute idea!
Tara @The Game of Life says
I had freebirds for dinner! I think there burritos are wayy better!! Have you tried it?
Amber K says
I have never been to Chipotle. That bowl looks delicious!!
Sarah @ healthy girl running says
I love your hair! It looks super pretty when it’s curled like that! 🙂
rebecca says
Yes! Finally something about solution spam.
