Our friends at The Daily Beast came across this clip from Will Ferrell's classic "Talladega Nights" and it gave me the best laugh of the day. As any Boomer guy will tell you, Talladega Nights is no "Caddyshack" when it comes to quotable dialog, but this scene shows why it's a close second.
So, click on the video and watch Ricky Bobby say grace. Maybe you can decide which version of the deity you like best. Me, I'm going with John C. Reilly on this one. You just can't beat an eagle-winged deity singing Free Bird...

Prepare your own Mexican quick fix with this Chipotle-inspired bowl. Carbs are moderated by filling the bowl with beans, extra veggies and chicken. No need for rice, since the beans count as carbs.
Tips:
If you love tomatoes, increase the quantity to 1/2 cup, but note that the carbohydrates will also increase.
If preparing this recipe for one person, cut all of the ingredients in half. Or simply prepare the full recipe up to the end of step 2 and store leftover chicken and vegetable-bean mixture in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave on High for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through, and continue with step 3.
